Chances are if you’re watching Wednesday’s Game 5 between the Red Sox and Houston Astros then Boston pitcher Chris Sale had you extremely fired up after the top of the fourth inning.
The Red Sox left-hander, who clearly was putting added emphasis in Game 5 given his previous struggles this postseason, struck out the side in the fourth and got Boston out of a massive, game-altering threat.
Sale allowed a one-out walk followed up by a one-out single to the Houston’s Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez, respectively. It gave Houston runners on first and third with one out while already trailing 1-0.
Sale buckled down for two straight strike outs, against Carlos Correa and Kyle Tucker no less, and reacted accordingly.
