Sale got his immaculate inning against Twins batters Nick Gordon, Andrelton Simmons, and Rob Refsnyder. They each faced three of his pitches each, and all struck out on each pitch. 

Sale’s previous two immaculate innings came during the 2019 season. He first had one against Baltimore Orioles on May 8th and then had one against Kansas City Royals less than a month after.

Start against Twins was Sale’s third of the season, and he currently has a 3-0 record with 2.35 ERA and 21 strikeouts. He previously missed the 2020 MLB season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

“Today was probably the best my mechanics have been start-to-finish. I really felt like I was staying on top of the baseball. I really kind of found it out in the bullpen before the game,” said Sale after the game against the Twins.

Chris Sale joined the Red Sox in 2017 after previously spending seven years with Chicago White Sox. He earned two All-Star nods during his stay in Boston while helping the franchise win World Series in 2018.

Sale’s career stats include a 112–73 record, 3.02 ERA, and 2,028 strikeouts.

Sale, who underwent Tommy John surgery in March last year, told reporters during a recent press conference that he “one hundred percent” expects to pitch this season.

“Unless something crazy happens,” Sale added. “I’ll be there soon enough.”

Despite saying that he would be “starting tomorrow” if it was up to him, Sale still has several bars to clear before suiting up for an MLB game. The 32-year-old slinger started working with the first team just recently and is currently taking part in the Red Sox’s bullpen sessions.

Sale is expected to continue with the same regime for at least 10 more days before making the next step and facing hitters. If everything checks out, he could then be heading to minors for a few starts before being able to experience his first MLB game since August 2019.

There’s still enough time for Sale to return to the majors this year as the regular season wraps up on October 3rd. There’s also a whole month of postseason action after, since the Red Sox are currently on track to make the playoffs.

Chris Sale made 84 starts for the Red Sox since coming to Boston in 2017. He made one All-Star appearance during that time while posting a 35-23 record with 3.08 ERA and 763 strikeouts.
