Windy City: No shortage of whiffs from dueling aces Kluber and Sale (VIDEO)
Monday night's showdown between Indians ace Corey Kluber and White Sox ace Chris Sale was tabbed as a must-see pitching duel and it did not disappoint.
In his first outing since striking out 18, Kluber struck out the first five batters of the game.
But the Klubot didn't stop there. The reigning Cy Young Award winner went on to fan a total of 12 White Sox batters to reach a total of 30 strikeouts in his last two starts.

Sale on the other hand, was no slouch either, surrendering only one run over eight innings and racking up a total of seven strikeouts.
