Because it deserves mentioning, Sale had a immaculate inning in the 3rd. 9 strikes, 3 outs.

Sale matched Sandy Koufax as the only pitcher to do this three times.  That's pretty good company!

Agreed on Dalbec.  He's really finally started to come around.  His BA is up about 40 points from earlier in the season.  He may be a keeper, but now he's going to lose playing time to Schwarber at times.  Schwarber has been good, but he causes other problems in the lineup. 

Still happy with a win.  That leaves them 3 behind the Yankees and 2.5 ahead of Oakland.  I really don't know if I can take a wild card playoff between Sox and Yanks!
