Chris Sale couldn't pull off the no-hitter, but he still managed to make his mark Wednesday night vs. the Orioles.
The Red Sox ace tossed an immaculate seventh inning. Nine pitches, nine strikes.
He's the fifth known pitcher in Red Sox history to pitch an immaculate inning. Pedro Martinez, Clay Buchholz, Craig Kimbrel, and Rick Porcello all have accomplished the feat.
Sale had a no-hitter through 5 2/3 innings before Joey Rickard broke it up with a single to center field.
Despite losing the no-no, Sale's final line was sensational. The left-hander allowed only one run on three hits in eight innings pitched and finished with 14 strikeouts and zero walks.
