CHICAGO: It didn’t really seem possible for Chris Sale to look human based off of his super-human-like previous six weeks in which no team could score more than two runs off of him.
On Tuesday night, the Indians found success that other teams haven’t and knocked out the current American League Cy Young favorite in the fourth inning en route to a 6-2 win over the first-place Chicago White Sox.
The Indians got to Sale (9-1) for six runs on seven hits and four walks in 3u2153 innings pitched. Prior to Tuesday night, Sale hadn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any start this season, hadn’t allowed more than two earned runs in seven consecutive outings and had tossed two consecutive one-run complete games.
