Will there be a triple crown in 18 years since Johan Santana in 2006? Chris Sale (35, Atlanta Braves) has risen to the top in three categories again.
Atlanta played an away game against the Cincinnati Reds at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Ohio on the 20th (Korea time).
Sale threw 93 pitches (57 strikes) during five innings on the day, and displayed relatively poor pitching by allowing five hits, two runs and six strikeouts. He also allowed one homer.
However, Atlanta’s batters gave Sale eight points through the fifth inning. He also scored seven points through the sixth and ninth innings. Atlanta, which boasted the strength of its batters for the first time in a long time, won the game 15-3.
Sale won and pitched 1,77 2/3 innings in 29 games of the season so far, recording 18-3 losses and a 2.38 strikeout average of 225.
He is a three-time winner of two major league titles. He has one win, a 0.10 ERA and four strikeouts with Tarik Skubal, who is ranked second in all three categories.
It is not yet certain that Sale will win three titles in total. However, if he wins the strikeout competition with Dylan Sheath (220), he will be able to win at least three titles in the National League.
Sale also confirmed his first Cy Young Award with the victory. Jack Wheeler will not be able to surpass Sale in the remaining games. 메이저사이트
Sale is proving himself a confidence in his physical condition, which everyone didn’t believe before this season, until the end of September. This is leading to his first Cy Young Award.
Meanwhile, Atlanta had 18 hits and 15 runs on the day. It had six home runs.
