The Red Sox take on the Texas Rangers on Wednesday in Game 2 of their three-game series, and Boston’s Chris Sale will attempt to break the record for most consecutive starts in Major League Baseball with 10 or more strikeouts.
Sale currently shares a tie for the MLB record with former Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez for a streak of eight consecutive starts with 10-plus strikeouts.
Before the game, manager John Farrell and pitching coach Carl Willis spoke about Sale’s historic start to 2017, and you can hear what they said in the video above from “Red Sox First Pitch,” presented by Men’s Wearhouse.
