TONIGHT’S START: Allowed 1 or 0 runs in each of his fi rst 4 starts this season, tying a career-long streak at

any point during a season (5x)...Had not strung together back-to-back starts with 1 or 0 runs to begin a season prior to 2018.

Sale is 1 of 4 Red Sox to allow 1 or 0 runs in each of his fi rst 4 starts of season as a member of the Opening Day rotation (since 1908)...The other Red Sox with such a streak are Cy Young (4, 1908), Dutch Leonard (6, 1914), and Roger Clemens (4, 1991).

Sale’s 1.23 ERA marks his 2nd-lowest through the fi rst 4 starts of a season (0.91 in 2017). Ranks among AL leaders in ERA (4th, 1.23), SO (T-8th, 31), opponent OPS (9th, .510),

SO/9.0 IP ratio (T-3rd, 12.68), and WHIP (11th, 0.95). Also ranks 4th in the AL with a 6.20 SO/BB ratio...Owns the highest SO/BB ratio in March/

April (4.73, 232 SO/49 BB) over the last 100 seasons (min. 200.0 IP). His 4 starts with 1 or 0 runs allowed lead the majors in 2018...Sale’s 18 such starts since

the beginning of 2017 are tied with Luis Severino for the most in the majors over that time. Leads the majors in scoreless starts since the beginning of 2017 (11). Enters today limiting RHH to a .179 AVG (12-for-67) this season...Has not allowed a hit

to 7 batters faced with RISP in 2018.VS. THE ATHLETICS:

Allowed 2 runs over 7.0 IP on 5/19/17 at OAK, his last start vs. the club (ND, 7 H, 10 SO). Is 4-2 with a 2.17 ERA (14 ER/58.0 IP) in 8 career starts vs. OAK...Struck out 62 and

issued 9 BB in those outings, posting a .192 opponent AVG (40-for-208) and 0.84 WHIP. Allowed 3 runs or fewer in each of his 4 career starts at Oakland-Alameda County

Coliseum...Tossed 7.0+ innings in 3 of those contests. Was 3-0 with a 1.65 ERA (5 ER/27.1 IP), 36 SO, and 4 BB in 4 starts vs. the AL West in 2017.

ON THE ROAD: Is 0-0 with a 0.82 ERA (1 ER/11.0 IP) in 2 road starts this season...Has limited opponents to

a .162 AVG (6-for-37) in those outings while posting a 0.82 WHIP. Allowed 1 or 0 runs in each of his last 3 road starts (beginning 9/20/17)...Strung together a

career-long 4 consecutive such starts twice: 4/15-5/13/16 with CWS; 7/21-8/13/17 with BOS. Both his 191 SO and 13 double-digit SO efforts on the road in 2017 are the highest single-

season totals in the majors in the last 100 years. Over 21 road starts with BOS, is 10-5 with a 2.56 ERA (39 ER/137.0 IP)...Allowed 2 runs or fewer in 13 of those outings. Leads the majors with 206 SO on the road since the start of 2017, trailing only Ivan Nova (137.2) for the most IP (137.0)...Leads ML pitchers with 75.0+ IP on the

road during that span with a 13.53 SO/9.0 IP ratio, and paces the AL in opponent AVG (.200), opponent OPS (.568), and SO/BB ratio (7.36).2018 HIGHLIGHTS:

Made his 4th career Opening Day start on 3/29 at TB (also 2013-14, ‘16 with CWS).CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

Holds the highest SO/BB ratio (5.14) in the Live Ball Era (min. 1,000.0 IP)...Also ranks 2nd among that group with 10.58 SO/9.0 IP (Randy Johnson-10.61). According to Elias, reached 1,500 career SO in fewer IP than any pitcher in ML history (1,290.0 IP), breaking Kerry Wood’s previous record (1,303.0 IP). Has recorded 12+ SO 28 times since the start of 2012, 11 more than any other pitcher in that span (Kershaw-17)...His 53 games with 10+ SO since 2012 trail

only Max Scherzer’s 61 for the most in MLB during that time, and are the 15th-highest career total since at least 1908. His 12.93 SO/9.0 IP ratio in 2017 is the 3rd-highest single-season mark in ML history behind Randy Johnson (13.41 in 2001) and Pedro Martinez (13.20 in 1999). Had 10+ SO in 8 consecutive starts from 4/10-5/19/17, tying Pedro Martinez (1999) and his own streak in 2015 for MLB’s longest single-season streak since 1900

(source: Elias)...Elias also notes that Sale and Martinez are the only 2 pitchers since 1893 with multiple streak of 7+ consecutive starts with 10+ SO. In 2017, recorded the 35th 300-SO season since 1900 (source: Elias)...Elias also notes that in only 2 of the previous 34 300-SO seasons since 1900 did a pitcher have

fewer walks than Sale did (41) at the time of his 300th SO: Curt Schilling in 2002 with ARI (31) and Pedro Martinez in 1999 with BOS (37).
