What happened: Chris Sale passed Frank Tanana for the sixth-most strikeouts by a left-handed pitcher in baseball history. The milestone punchout moves Sale into 26th place on the all-time leaderboard.
Why it matters: The veteran continues to climb historical lists amid a resurgent campaign. He trails only five other lefties in career punchouts, further cementing his legacy.
By the numbers: With 2,774 career strikeouts, he trails 25th-place Cy Young, who recorded 2,803.
What to watch: He will look to close the gap on Young over his final starts of the regular season.
