For the fourth consecutive season, White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale has been selected to the American League All-Star team, the MLB announced Monday.
The 26-year-old ace owns a 6-4 record with a 2.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 141 strikeouts in 103 1/3 innings pitched this season. He also won AL Pitcher of the Month for his sensational June in which he went 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA with 75 strikeouts and only eight walks in 44 1/3 innings.
