One strike away for the tall lefty and here comes the two-two.

He struck him out.

300 strikeouts for Cressale.

Just the second pitcher in Red Sox history to achieve it.

A spectacular performance tonight in Baltimore.

A standing ovation from his teammates.

Sale does it tonight.

He pins it down.

So I told you yesterday, the game should be a layup.

Last night's game should have been a layup for the Red Sox.

And as it turned out, it was, it was an absolute layup against the Baltimore

Orioles and Camden Yards. Wade Miley against Chris Sale and the Red Sox absolutely pasted the Baltimore Orioles. They win nine zip. They remain three games ahead of the Yankees with 10 to go. Ten to go in the American League East. 617-779-0985. I want to start, though, with Chris Sale and the 300 strikeouts. Okay? And if you listen to this program, you listen to the afternoon show during the course

of the year, you know that generally speaking, individual accomplishments, most of them

don't do anything for me, particularly the one game accomplishments. Most of them

really don't mean anything. Hitting for the cycle, no hitters. Perfect game to me is

special. That's a little bit different. But the for the cycle, no hitters. Perfect game to me is special. That's a little bit

different. But the individual game accomplishments largely mean nothing. 300 strikeouts?

Yeah. Chris Sale's had a fabulous year. I'm not trying to take anything away from Chris Sale.

It is rare, rare that you trade for a guy or acquire a pitcher like that, or at least it feels rare,

who changes teams with huge expectations and the guy delivers.

And this year, Chris Sale has delivered.

However, and there's always a butt.
