Chris Sale couldn’t have picked a better time to show the baseball world what type of pitcher he was: On ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, he tossed a complete game one-hitter, beating the Angels 3-0 at U.S. Cellular Field. Sale was dominant, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Mike Trout broke it up with a single to center. Chris would finish the night with seven strikeouts, and Trout would be the Angels only base runner that evening.
