With one pitch, American League starter Chris Sale made it pretty clear he was excited for Tuesday's All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, won by the AL, 8-6, in 10 innings.
With a man on second and two outs in the first inning, the lanky lefty induced a flyout to center field from Freddie Freeman on a fastball clocked at 100.7 mph -- the fastest pitch he's thrown since 2010.
In fact, Sale hit 101 mph and 100.7 mph back in 2010, when he was exclusively a reliever for the White Sox.
