Boston Red Sox
He didn’t throw his best stuff, but Sale put in a quality start against the Kansas City Royals. He went seven innings giving up one earned off of five hits while striking out six and walking two.
Sale left the game with the lead, but Craig Kimbrel blew the lead in the ninth as Kansas City would go on to win 7-6 in a crazy couple of extra innings.
Even when Sale is off, he’s still really good. To this point he owns a 10.93 K/9. 2.14 BB/9, 0.86 HR/9, 85.9% LOB% and a sparkling 2.14 ERA.
Boston has been playing winning baseball in the last week going 4-3 in that span. Their lineup has been swinging some hot bats in that time slashing .271/.322/.484 to go with 27 extra-base hits and 38 RBI.

Texas Rangers
Fister put in a quality start in his last outing against the Cleveland Indians. He traveled 6.2 innings giving up two unearned runs off of six hits while striking out four and walking two.
He doesn’t blow you away with strikes (7.20 K/9) and his walk rate (3.60 BB/9) is a tad high, but he does a good job keeping the ball in the park with a 0.72 HR/9 (two homer runs all year).
Even with an unlucky .321 BABIP Fister has still managed to post a 2.88 ERA, but be weary as 4.17 FIP indicates his defense has been making him look good.
