CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox's strikeout record lasted 107 years, until Chris Sale finally toppled the mark Friday.
With his third strikeout of the night against the Detroit Tigers, Sale reached 270 for the season, passing the previous club record of 269 set by Ed Walsh in 1908. Walsh set his record in 464 innings, while Sale needed 203 innings to best it.
