Sale gets 9 Ks, Moreland hits home run as Red Sox beat Twins, 4-1

The way Chris Sale and the Boston relievers were pitching, the Red Sox didn't need to score a lot. Sale went 6 1/3 overpowering innings with nine strikeouts, Mitch Moreland hit a solo homer for the third straight game and the Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 4-1 on Monday in a matchup of two of the AL's top teams. "When you've got him on the mound, all you need is a couple and he's going to do the rest," Moreland said.
