MLB Power Rankings: How long can Cardinals stay at the top?

The run that Chris Sale is currently on has been phenomenal to say the least. In his last four starts, Sale has thrown 30.2 innings, surrendered just 17 hits and just four earned runs. In the process, he’s also struck out 10 or more batters in each outing, 49 total. The White Sox seem to be riding that wave a bit, winning each of his last three starts and seven of his last ten.. .

Last week I challenged Adam Jones to find his home runs swing and he answered that challenge by going yard three times since, tacking on a double and a triple for good measure. He’ll have a bit more support in the line-up as well, with catcher Matt Wieters back and collecting six hits in his first 16 at-bats..
