White Sox left-hander Chris Sale had two catchers working for him Saturday against the Astros at Minute Maid Park — Alex Avila behind the plate and Dioner Navarro at it.
Avila helped coach Sale through an early rough patch and Navarro drove in four runs in his first game at designated hitter this season to help the Sox grind out a 7-6 victory.
Sale became just the second pitcher in Sox history to reach 14 victories before the All-Star break, along with Wilbur Wood, who did it from 1972-74.
