Best of MLB: Red Sox's Sale reaches 300 Ks; Marlins' Stanton hits 56th HR
Chris Sale was at his very best -- right down to his momentous last pitch -- in another meaningful victory for the Boston Red Sox. Sale struck out 13 to become the first AL pitcher in 18 years to reach the 300 mark, and Boston moved to the brink of clinching a playoff berth by beating the Baltimore Orioles 9-0 on Wednesday night. Sale (17-7) reached the milestone on his 111th and final pitch, a called third strike against Ryan Flaherty to end the eighth inning.
