FGCU Alum still dominating as the White Sox Ace. CHICAGO (AP) – Chris Sale likes what he is feeling and hearing, the fun on the field and the music in the locker room. In other words, the winning. “I think it’s important, individually and as a team, to try to get off on the right foot,” Sale said after becoming the majors’ first four-game winner, leading the Chicago White Sox over the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 on Wednesday. “To start out with some momentum, that’s important. We’re just going to try to ride this out as long as we can.” Sale (4-0) allowed only two Mike Trout singles and an unearned run in seven innings. He left after hitting Kole Calhoun with a pitch leading off the eighth. Two years ago, Sale won his first five decisions. The White Sox are 10-5, their best start in a decade, matching the 2006 team. Last season, the White Sox began 10-14 and didn’t reach double digits until May 26. This season, Sale has 40 percent of Chicago’s victories. “Aces have always been those guys that extend winning streaks and stop losing streaks,” manager Robin Ventura said. “For Saler, he’s right (there) as one of those guys. He’s as good as there is in the league.” Nate Jones, who had pitched two innings in recording his first big league save Tuesday night, followed Sale and retired the next two hitters but advanced Calhoun with a wild pitch. Jonny Giavotella then grounded to third baseman Todd Frazier, who bounced his throw, which first baseman Jerry Sands trapped under his right arm. First base umpire Paul Nauert called Giavotella safe, the call was upheld on video review and Frazier was given an error. David Robertson relieved and gave up a single to pinch-hitter Rafael Ortega, just past second baseman Brett Lawrie. The Sox closer eventually recorded a four-out save to complete a four-hitter. “I’m glad he’s on my team,” Sale said of Robertson. “His cutter is as good of a pitch as I’ve seen anybody have in a bullpen. And he’s throwing an 85 mph curveball.” Robertson, 6 for 6 in saves this season, is pretty impressed with Sale, as well. “He’s really been good,” Robertson said. “He’s mixing and matching better than I’ve ever seen him.” Trout noticed a difference in Sale, too. “He has changed up speeds with that fastball lately,” he said. “We saw it in spring. You get one pitch to hit, and if you miss it, it puts you in a hole.” Trout had a third hit in the game, in the ninth inning off Robertson, but was thrown out trying to reach second base after Frazier’s throw to first got past Sands. The Angels and White Sox will complete the four-game series Thursday.
