Sale labored a bit more than usual, needing 96 pitches to get through five frames. The left-hander had a stretch of seven straight quality starts snapped Thursday, but he was still able to pick up his eighth win of the season, tied for second most in MLB. Sale has had one poor start this year -- he gave up six runs over four innings against the Angels on April 6 -- but he's allowed two or fewer earned runs in his other 10 appearances. Overall, he's posting ace-like numbers, recording a 2.01 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 80:17 K:BB through 67 frames.
