Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale had an immaculate inning in the eighth inning Wednesday, needing just nine pitches to strike out the side.
Sale finished it off with a 98-mph fastball to strike out Kansas City Royals catcher Martin Maldonado.
It’s Sale’s second immaculate inning of the year — he also did it May 8 against the Baltimore Orioles.
It was vintage Sale on Wednesday as he threw a three-hit shutout while striking out 12 in Boston’s 8-0 road victory. Sale, who has suffered through a lack of run support, improved to 2-7 on the season.
The Red Sox beat the White Sox 6-1 on May 3, the only other Sale start this season in which Boston scored six or more runs.
