Chris Sale had an impressive outing against the red-hot Chicago Cubs on Sunday.

Sale struck out 15 batters in seven innings of one-hit ball. He is just the third pitcher this season to strike out at least 15 and allow one hit or fewer, joining Corey Kluber and Max Scherzer.

The left-hander also reached the 200-strikeout mark for the third straight season, the first Chicago White Sox pitcher to have three straight such seasons since Hall of Famer Ed Walsh from 1910 to 1912.

Sale had a dominant slider, one he threw for strikes 18 times out of 29 pitches. Cubs hitters swung at 10 of them and missed on eight. The other two swings both resulted in foul balls.
