Chris Sale struck out seven Detroit Tigers over seven innings of one-run ball on Friday, setting the Chicago White Sox franchise record for most strikeouts in a single season, with 274.
While his 3.48 ERA doesn't exactly reflect it, Sale has been incredible this year. His 2.70 FIP ranks fourth among 75 qualifying pitchers, his 2.61 xFIP ranks second, and his 11.92 strikeouts per nine rank first.
