Game Preview
Chris Sale makes his second start since returning from the injured list when the Boston Red Sox meet the host Washington Nationals in the rubber game of their series on Thursday.
Sale (5-2, 4.52 ERA), who had been out since early June because of a stress reaction in his shoulder, returned last Friday and allowed two runs on one hit — a home run — in 4 2/3 innings against the Tigers. He struck out seven without a walk and retired the first 14 Tigers he faced.
“He’s going to keep getting better and getting more innings and he’s going to be part of this,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “For us to play in October, we need everybody to contribute. For him to come out here today and be healthy and compete with us, it means a lot to the group.”
