TONIGHT’S START: Has allowed 3 ER or fewer in each of his 9 starts this season...Is Sale’s longest streak of

starts with 3 ER or fewer since a career-long 12 consecutive from 9/18/15-5/19/16. Recorded 10+ SO in each of his last 2 starts and 3 of his last 5. Has struck out 10+ batters in 21 of his 41 starts with BOS since the beginning of 2017...Is

tied with Max Scherzer for the most double-digit SO efforts during that time. Ranks 2nd in the AL with 78 SO and 12.10 SO/9.0 IP, trailing only Gerrit Cole (93, 13.57). Ranks among AL leaders in ERA (5th, 2.17), WHIP (5th, 0.90), SO/BB ratio (3rd, 7.09),

BB/9.0 IP ratio (7th, 1.71), opponent AVG (7th, .195), and opponent OPS (7th, .588). Sale’s 6 starts with 1 or 0 ER allowed this season are tied for the 2nd-most in the majors

(also Carlos Martínez, Jacob deGrom), trailing only Justin Verlander (7). Enters today limiting RHH to a .185 AVG (33-for-178) this season...Is the 4th-lowest mark

among AL lefties with at least 50 RHH faced (9th in majors). Has allowed just 3 hits to 37 batters faced with RISP (.094, 3-for-32)...Is the 4th-lowest

mark in the AL and the 7th-lowest in the majors (min. 25 BF with RISP).Last start: Recorded a career-high-tying 15 SO with 0 BB over 9.0 IP on 5/11 at TOR (ND, 6 H, 3 ER)...Marked his 3rd career 15-SO effort (also 5/28/12 and 8/16/15 with CWS).

Was his 10th career start with 0 BB over 9.0 IP (last 8/26/16 with CWS), trailing only Clayton Kershaw (11) for the most in the majors since 2012.

Became the 1st Red Sox with 15+ SO and 0 BB in a start since Pedro Martinez in 2000.VS. THE ATHLETICS:

Received the loss on 4/21 at OAK, striking out 10 and allowing 3 ER over 7.0 IP (6 H, BB). Struck out 10 Athletics in each of his last 2 outings vs. OAK (20 SO, BB, 14.0 IP). Over 9 career starts against the club, is 4-3 with a 2.35 ERA (17 ER/65.0 IP), a .196

opponent AVG, and 0.86 WHIP...Logged 6.0+ IP in each and 7.0+ IP in 7. Is 1-1 with a 2.57 ERA (4 ER/14.0 IP) over 2 starts vs. the AL West in 2018 (also 5/6 at TEX). Sale’s 2.25 career ERA (73 ER/291.2 IP) vs. the AL West trails only Pedro Martinez’s 1.92

mark for the lowest vs. the division since it formed in 1969 (min. 250.0 IP). Among all pitchers with 25 decisions against the division since it formed in 1969, his .788 winning percentage (26-7) is the 4th-highest ever.

AT HOME: Surrendered 1 ER in each of his 3 home starts this year (1-0, 1.50 ERA, 3 ER/18.0 IP)...Is his longest streak of home starts with 1 or 0 ER allowed with BOS.

2018 HIGHLIGHTS: Allowed 1 or 0 runs in each of his fi rst 4 starts...Became the 4th Red Sox member of the Opening Day rotation with such a streak since at least 1908, joining Cy

Young (4 in 1908), Dutch Leonard (6 in 1914), and Roger Clemens (4 in 1991). With his 3rd 10+ SO effort of 2018 on 5/11 at TOR, passed Jon Lester for the 3rd-most by a Red Sox (1908-pres.): Pedro Martinez (72), Roger Clemens (68). Allowed 1 ER over 7.0 IP in each of his 2 starts from 5/1-6...Marked his 1st pair of consecutive starts with 1 or 0 ER over 7.0+ IP since 8/8-13 of 2017 (also 2 starts).

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). Has recorded 12+ SO 30 times since the start of 2012, 13 more than any other pitcher in that time (Kershaw-17)...His 56 games with 10+ SO since 2012 trail only

Max Scherzer’s 64 for the most in MLB during that time, and are the 14th-highest career total since at least 1908.
