Chris Sale Earns Pedro Martinez’s Admiration After Best Red Sox Start Yet
Share this: Chris Sale’s bar was set incredibly high when he joined the Boston Red Sox this offseason. Somehow, the left-handed ace has raised it.

Sale looked downright unhittable throughout most of his outing, attacking the strike zone with a lethal three-pitch mix while working quickly to keep Toronto’s batters off-balance. And if
