White Sox's Sale strikes out 11, makes ridiculous behind-the-back snag in return from suspension
Kelley L Cox / USA TODAY Sports
Chris Sale has come under fire after getting shelled in back-to-back outings, but he was back to his usual self Tuesday.
Sale hurled eight innings of two-run ball, amassing 11 strikeouts in a 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in his return from a five-game suspension for his role in a brawl with the Kansas City Royals.
The 6-foot-6 left-hander even made an incredible behind-the-back snag on a Ryan Braun grounder, prompting a smile from the Chicago White Sox hurler who was tagged for 13 earned runs over his previous two outings.

Sale's strong outing helped the White Sox snap a seven-game road skid.
