What happened: He allowed five hits, walked none and struck out 11 over nine innings. A final strikeout ended the game after a replay review extended the ninth.
Why it matters: It was Chris Sale's first complete game since 2019 and completed a three-game sweep. The result tightened a postseason race between clubs that entered the night separated by two games.
By the numbers: 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 HBP, 11 K. Sale reached 100.1 mph, his highest velocity since 2018.
What to watch: Sale's next turn will show whether the late-game velocity carries into September.
