Turns out, the Tampa Bay Rays had the Chicago White Sox right where they wanted them on Sunday afternoon. On the mound, Chris Sale was, well, sailing. He was shutting out the Rays, who had only one hit. He had struck out 11. He was in command. And the Rays? All they could offer was light-hitting shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and his .203 average. What was there to fear? Well, there was this. Cabrera hit the ball out off the yard,…
