Chris sale and it has been really special. 25 starts for him. Incredible numbers, 15 wins for himself and a great start for chris Sale as he strikes out Tobar on three pitches, got him foul tip into the mid second strikeout tonight. 199 on the season for sale, 22 and there is strike three and there is strikeout number 200 this year for chris sale the first lefty to record 200 Ks in a season in franchise history. And he does it on a painted slider more often than not. We'll talk about the swing and miss that. He gets on this slider but locking up Romo as he watches it go by and catch that inside corner. A thing of beauty and we love round numbers. And so what a cool moment for Chris sale and he chases seau gets him. He goes over 200 strikeouts. He's now tied for the major league lead with two and one, 12 to back. He's got a strike out here five tonight and he now leads major league baseball with 202 on the season, 22 with two away. He struck him out. Little gas takes care of the rookie Aaron Shunk swing and a Miss slider to get Rogers got him 97 there. Fastest one of the night for the lefty eight strikeouts and now he's got nine. He has Jordan Beck on all three at bats tonight swinging for a strikeout not going to have to work very hard to get Shan on to second. That will do it. So the Rockies get two aboard but they are not able to score seven scoreless for sale.
