Chris Sale thus far hasn’t had the season he had hoped.
The Boston Red Sox starter gave up nine hits and five earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in Wednesday’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, saddling him with his eighth loss of the season. Sale went 12-4 last year with a 2.11 ERA, so he obviously isn’t happy sitting at 3-8 with a 4.04 ERA.
“I just haven’t been myself for a while and that’s honestly frustrating,” Sale said after the loss. “This is about as frustrated as I’ve ever been playing baseball.”
