| Sale: 5 IP, 1H, 0ER, 12K |
The Boston Red Sox, with the best record in the majors, don't make a lot of headlines because all they do is win, including Sunday's 4-1 win at Baltimore, which saw the return off the DL of Chris Sale, Boston's ace starter.
Sale allowed one hit and no runs over five innings of work, striking out 12. Sale improved to 12-4 and dropped his ERA to 1.97.
The Red Sox continue to lead the AL East by an eye-popping 9 1/2 games over the Yankees.
The Sox took four straight in Baltimore and head to Philadelphia on Tuesday for a two-game series with the Phillies.
National League
After losing the first two games of their three-game series in Cincinnati, Arizona retained control of the NL West with a 9-2 romp over the Reds Sunday.

| Goldschmidt: 2 Homers |
Paul Goldschmidt connected for his 25th and 26th home runs and drove in three runs. Goldschmidt socked a two-run homer in the sixth inning, then added a solo shot in the ninth as the Diamondbacks tacked on four more runs.
Goldschmidt carries a .284 batting average and has driven in 64 runs this season.
The Diamondbacks lead the NL West by one game over the Dodgers. LA took a 4-3 defeat at Colorado on Sunday, dropping out of a tie for the division lead.
Arizona heads next to Texas for a pair of games with the Rangers, starting on Monday, 8:05 pm EDT.
