Sale fans 11, finally gets run support
Chris Sale strikes out Trey Mancini swinging to notch his 10th strikeout of the game in the top of the 7th inningBOSTON -- Chris Sale finally got some run support on Tuesday night at Fenway Park, not that he needed that much in a 5-2 victory over the Orioles.
Hanley Ramirez supplied much of the firepower with two prodigious solo homers. The five runs the Red Sox scored for Sale accounted for one more than he received in total in his first five starts.
Once again, Sale flat-out dominated, and this time, he had a win to show for it. Sale allowed three hits and two runs over eight innings, walking two and striking out 11.
