Chris Sale joined an elite fraternity in the Boston Red Sox’s 9-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night, but he didn’t know it at the time. The Red Sox ace reached the 300-strikeout mark when he froze Ryan Flaherty with a nasty slider to end the eighth inning, and when he headed for the dugout he was unaware that he had become the second Red Sox pitcher to reach the mark. “When I ran out there, and everyone — when I struck out the last guy, when they started losing it, I was like, ‘oh, well, I guess it was it,’ Sale said, per ESPN. And when he was asked if he knew

Rafael Devers Makes Extremely Difficult Play Look Routine In Red Sox’s Win
Baseball, at any level or age, is not easy, especially if you’re a 20-year-old at the major league level, making what Rafael Devers has done so far even more impressive. The 20-year-old Boston Red Sox third baseman has, more often than not, made the game look easy. He came highly touted as a hitter, and he’s lived up to that reputation. Aside from the occasional slump, Devers continues to display an impressive ability to drive the ball to all fields and hit for considerable power.

Here’s Why Red Sox’s Walk-Off Win Was A Real Bummer For White Sox
There was a little bit of foreshadowing during the Boston Red Sox’s win Friday that perhaps the Chicago White Sox should have noticed. The White Sox had their chances against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, but ultimately, the home team left the field with the 3-2 extra-innings win. Chicago had its first two batters reach base in both the ninth and 11th innings, but some stellar defense by the Red Sox made sure the team didn’t put any runs on the board. That paved the way for Boston first baseman Mitch Moreland to hit a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 11th off an aptly named White Sox reliever. We’re
