TONIGHT’S START: Allowed 1 or 0 runs in each of his fi rst 2 starts of a season for the 1st time in his career. Leads the majors in scoreless starts since the beginning of 2017 (11). Sale’s 16 starts with 1 or 0 runs allowed since the start of 2017 trail only tonight’s

counterpart, NYY’s Luis Severino (17), for the most in the AL during that time. Is starting on 6 days rest (last pitched on 4/3 at MIA)...Is 12-7 with a 1.81 ERA (35

ER/173.2 IP) in 25 career starts on 6+ days rest (198 SO, 37 BB, 0.97 WHIP, .209 opponent AVG, 131-for-626).

Owns a career SO/BB ratio of 4.596 in March/April (216 SO, 47 BB), trailing only Curt Schilling (4.602) for the highest mark in the majors over the last 100 seasons (min. 200.0 IP).VS. THE YANKEES:

In 15 career outings (12 starts) against the Yankees, Chris Sale is 4-4 with a 1.75 ERA (17 ER/87.2 IP)…Among pitchers with 10+ starts vs. NYY in the Live Ball Era (since 1920), Sale owns the lowest ERA and WHIP (0.91) and the highest SO/9.0 IP ratio (11.40).

Sale was 0-3 with a 2.65 ERA (10 ER/34.0 IP) in 5 starts vs. NYY in 2017...No Red Sox in the last 100 years has posted a lower single-season ERA vs. any single opponent over 5+ starts and not received a win...The last ML pitcher to do so was SF’s Tim Lincecum vs. LAD in 2010 (5 starts, 0-3, 1.83 ERA).

Sale’s 13.24 SO/9.0 IP ratio (50 SO/34.0 IP) vs. NYY in 2017 is the highest single-season mark against the club in the last 100 seasons (min. 25.0 IP).

Recorded 10+ SO in 3 straight outings vs. NYY last season (4/27-8/13), which is tied for the longest such streak against the club in the last 100 years.

Went 7.0+ IP in each of his 3 home starts vs. NYY in 2017 (0-2, 2.38 ERA, 6 ER/22.2 IP). Was 9-5 with a 2.33 ERA (32 ER/123.2 IP) vs. AL East opponents last season...Had 192 SO

vs. AL East clubs in 2017, the highest single-season total ever against the division and the most vs. any division since J.R. Richard’s 193 with HOU vs. the NL West in 1978.AT HOME:

Is making his 1st home start of 2018...Went 7-3 with a 3.16 ERA (31 ER/88.1 IP) in 13 starts at Fenway last season.

Allowed 3 ER or fewer over 7.0+ IP in each of his fi rst 7 starts at Fenway in 2017...Marked the longest such streak by a Red Sox since Pedro Martinez did so in his fi rst 8 of the 2000 season.2017 HIGHLIGHTS:

Named an All-Star for the 6th consecutive season...Became the 8th Red Sox pitcher to start the Midsummer Classic, as well as the 1st ML pitcher ever to start consecutive All-Star games for 2 different organizations.

Finished 2nd in AL Cy Young Award voting, fi nishing in the top 6 for the 6th consecutive season (2012-17)...The only other pitchers ever to fi nish in the top 6 in BBWAA Cy Young Award voting in as many as 6 straight years are Greg Maddux (7, 1992-98), Clayton Kershaw (7, 2011-17), and Roy Halladay (6, 2006-11).

Led MLB with 308 SO, a 12.93 SO/9.0 IP ratio, and 214.1 IP...Ranked among AL leaders in ERA (2nd, 2.90), opponent AVG (2nd, .208), opponent OPS (3rd, .603), WHIP (2nd, 0.97), BB/9.0 IP ratio (2nd, 1.81), and wins (T-4th, 17).

His 12.93 SO/9.0 IP ratio is the 3rd-highest single-season mark in ML history behind Randy Johnson (13.41 in 2001) and Pedro Martinez (13.20 in 1999). Recorded the 35th 300-SO season since 1900 (source: Elias)...Elias also notes that in only 2 of the previous 34 300-SO seasons since 1900 did a pitcher have fewer

walks than Sale did (41) at the time of his 300th SO: Curt Schilling in 2002 with ARI (31) and Pedro Martinez in 1999 with BOS (37). Recorded 10+ SO in a ML-high 18 starts, the most since Randy Johnson in 2003 with ARI (23) and the 2nd-most ever by a Red Sox (Pedro Martinez, 19 in 1999). Had 10+ SO in 8 consecutive starts from 4/10-5/19, tying Pedro Martinez (1999) and his own streak in 2015 for MLB’s longest single-season streak since 1900

(source: Elias)...Elias also notes that Sale and Martinez are the only 2 pitchers since 1893 with multiple streak of 7+ consecutive starts with 10+ SO.CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

Holds the highest SO/BB ratio (5.12) in the Live Ball Era (min. 1,000.0 IP)...Also ranks 2nd among that group with 10.56 SO/9.0 IP (Randy Johnson-10.61). According to Elias, reached 1,500 career SO in fewer IP than any pitcher in ML history (1,290.0 IP), breaking Kerry Wood’s previous record (1,303.0 IP). Has recorded 12+ SO 28 times since the start of 2012, 12 more than any other pitcher in that span (Kershaw, Kluber-16)...His 53 games with 10+ SO since 2012

trail only Max Scherzer’s 60 for the most in MLB during that time, and are the 15th-highest career total since at least 1908.
