The Chicago White Sox were unable to win its series against the Royals on Sunday, but ace Chris Sale pitched another strong start. Unfortunately for Sale, he received no run support from the Sox offense as they were shutout in a 2-0 loss.
The loss for Sale was his eighth of the season and dropped his record to 15-8. Sale was able to lower his ERA to 3.03, good for second in the American League. However, with the Sox out of contention and losses piling up for Sale, the All-Star could find himself out of the Cy Young Award race if he can’t rack up victories.
