Chris Sale (34, Boston Red Sox) proved that he is not a ‘cyber pitcher’ after coming back from injury. However, he showed poor form for two consecutive games.
Boston had an away game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan on the 7th (hereinafter Korean time).
Sale started as Boston’s starting pitcher that day and threw 74 pitches (46 strikes) in 5 innings, recording 4 hits and 3 runs. His walks and strikeouts were 3 and 7, respectively.
Although he won his first win of the season thanks to the team’s 6 points, the pitching content was not very satisfactory. After the opening, his earned run average in two games reached 11.25.
Previously, Sale collapsed with 7 runs in 3 innings in his first start of the season against the Baltimore Orioles on the 2nd. He pitched well compared to this game, but questions remain.
After being hit by two runs by Jake Rogers in the second inning of the day, Sale gave up one more run in the third inning with three hits in a row with no runners.
Dan Sale seemed to be recovering a bit from his old self, striking out all three out counts in the 5th inning, falling behind 2-3.
What Boston wants from Sale is an ace who commands the league. The last time Sale commanded the league was five years ago, in 2018.
After trailing by 2-3, the Boston lineup tied the game with Rafael Devers’ timely hit in the 6th inning, and Adam Duvall’s 3-run lead to a 6-3 comeback.
In addition, the Boston relief team blocked 4 innings with 2 hits and no runs after Sale went down the mound, and kept the victory by 3 runs. Sale’s first win. 스포츠토토
Kenley Jansen, Boston’s closer, blocked the ninth perfectly in a relatively comfortable three-run situation, earning his first save since the transfer.
On the other hand, Detroit starting pitcher Spencer Dunble pitched relatively well until the 5th inning, but was defeated in the 6th inning as he could not block Devers and Duval.
