KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Sale will be the Boston Red Sox starter on Tuesday in the middle game of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals.
The Royals have seen Sale often when he was in the American League Central with the Chicago White Sox.
“We all know Chris Sale,” Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain said. “We’ve got an opportunity to face him the last few years. He’s a great pitcher. He’s one of the best in the game. He’s definitely a tough day when he’s on the mound.”
Sale has a 2.97 ERA in 31 career appearances, 20 of them starts, against the Royals.
