Chris Sale is no longer a divisional foe for the Yankees, but the former Red Sox ace clearly is healthy again and posting a monster comeback season after switching leagues and joining the Braves.<\/p>\n
Sale, who hasn\u2019t made an All-Star team, due to various injuries, since his seventh consecutive selection in 2018, continued his resurgence to that level with five innings of one-run ball Friday night in the Braves\u2019 8-1 pasting of Carlos Rodon and the Yankees at the Stadium.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old lefty, who allowed one iffy hit while striking out eight, has posted a 10-2 record and a 2.91 ERA over his first 14 starts for the Braves following an offseason trade from Boston.<\/p>\n
\u201cGot it done. It worked out tonight,\u201d said Sale, who improved to 7-9 in 23 career appearances against the Yanks. \u201cI\u2019ve faced these guys quite a bit, and I\u2019ve seen what they can do. I got too much respect for the game and too much respect for those guys to say anything other than we battled and it went my way tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been on the other side of it, too, but the offense picked me up tonight. I had a lead before I even threw a pitch. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a starting pitcher in the league that would say they don\u2019t like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sale missed the entire COVID-shortened 2020 season following Tommy John surgery, and he made just 11 combined starts the following two years due to back problems, a broken finger and a broken wrist.<\/p>\n
But he pitched to a 4.30 ERA over 20 outings last season, prompting general manager Alex Anthopoulos to ship the Braves\u2019 top hitting prospect, Vaughn Grissom, to Boston in December, with the Red Sox covering $17 million of his 2024 salary.<\/p>\n
Atlanta then signed Sale to a two-year contract extension worth $37 million a few weeks later.<\/p>\n
Sale has allowed two or more earned runs in only three of his first 14 starts for the Braves, including eight in four innings June 1 against the A\u2019s. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s also struck out 107 and walked 16 over 86 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like we weren\u2019t worried when things weren\u2019t going well, we\u2019re not gonna sit here and throw a party when it is,\u201d Sale said.<\/p>\n
The Yankees\u2019 lone hit against Sale was a triple by Jahmai Jones in the second inning; the ball only dropped in after left fielder Adam Duvall misjudged it.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou ever watch his career? \u2026 He\u2019s an unbelievable pitcher,\u201d Juan Soto said of Sale.<\/p>\n
Before the game, Aaron Boone used the term \u201cvintage Sale\u201d to describe the season he\u2019s having. He was proven correct.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat looked like Sale when he\u2019s been at his best,\u201d Boone added afterward. \u201cHe\u2019s having a great year over there. We\u2019ve seen the great Chris Sale early in his Red Sox days a lot and the Chris Sale that went through a lot of injuries and battled through things.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe looked really good. Secondary [stuff] was excellent. \u2026 He was tough.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
