Sale Humbles Cleveland
The Kansas City Royals shut out the Cleveland Indians 7-0 today behind the strong pitching of Chris Sale. Sale surrendered only 4 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 6.

Following the last out, Sale appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for Cleveland manager Mitchell King, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Sale's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart.

The Indians skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Royals press conference, Sale confirmed that it was regarding the celebration.

"He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Sale said.

"And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck added.

On his stats sheet for the year Sale shows a 13-7 record, 29 starts, 197.1 innings, 170 strikeouts and a 3.47 ERA.
