CC Sabathia dazzled on Wednesday night. Facing off against a resurgent Red Sox offense, the veteran southpaw tossed eight innings of shutout ball. He allowed just five hits without issuing a single walk. He was flat out dominant. In terms of Game Score, this represented his best outing since Game Five of the 2012 ALDS. Vintage Sabathia showed up in the Bronx.
This outing put an exclamation point on a stretch of seven impressive starts for the left-hander. Since May 3rd, Sabathia owns a 3.19 ERA with a 3.42 FIP. That’s a notable turnaround when compared to his work earlier this season.
