  • Weekly Notes 062217
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 2017 A FIRST HALF TO REMEMBER Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale fanned 10 batters in a win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. The dominant left-hander now has 146 strikeouts on the season over his 15 starts, including 10 games with at least 10 strikeouts. The 28-year-old Florida native is now 9-3 on the season with a 2.85 ERA over 107.1 innings pitched, setting up a likely sixth All-Star Game selection. According to Elias, since the mound was set at its current distance in 1893, the only other pitchers to reach 10 double-digit strikeout games in as few games into a season as Sale were Hall of Famers Pedro Martinez in 1999 (also 15th game) and Randy Johnson in 2000 (12th game) and 2001 (14th game). With just over two weeks remaining before the All-Star break, Sale has a chance to reach the 170-strikeout plateau within the season’s fi rst half. That has not been accomplished since teammates Curt Schilling (186) and Johnson (171) both did so in 2002. Overall, the feat has been done just 20 times in MLB history by 11 diff erent pitchers. Seven of the 11 pitchers are currently in the Hall of Fame. Sale would become the third Boston pitcher to accomplish the feat, joining Roger Clemens (1988) and Martinez (1999).
