GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Chris Sale has the look of a man ready to move on after a traumatic week, from his early arrival Saturday morning to his mellow mood in the afternoon.
A day after he dissected the Adam LaRoche controversy in a fiery media session, the White Sox pitcher said he’s ready to move forward and was “jacked” to make his Cactus League debut. Sale allowed a pair of runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings with a walk and three strikeouts in his first true exhibition game of the spring. The four-time All-Star had pitched three times in simulated games or minor-league contests prior to Saturday’s 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch.
