Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale was hospitalized Sunday due to a stomach ailment, the team announced during Game 2 of the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.
According to the Red Sox, Sale was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital in the afternoon for observation. He was to remain in the hospital overnight for evaluation.
Sale, 29, pitched four uneven innings Saturday in Game 1 of the ALCS, a 7-2 Houston victory. He allowed just one hit and struck out five but yielded two runs, due in large part to four walks and a hit batter.
In 27 regular-season starts this year, Sale went 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA. He struck out 237 batters in 158 innings, missing time twice due to disabled-list stints caused by an inflamed left (pitching) shoulder.
