Sale threw nine. Kansas City scored 13.
Thursday was a seven-game slate with two different kinds of nights. Chris Sale threw a complete-game shutout for one run of support. The Kansas City Royals scored 13 in Toronto.
AthX Engine put Sale first among pitchers at 41 fantasy points. Jackson Chourio led hitters at 20. Kansas City led teams at 27.
These rankings are daily production. They are not share prices. Wednesday's catch-up recaps are linked at the bottom.

Six featured games from Thursday
Wednesday catch-up recaps (August 26)
Thursday's board is the Top 10. Wednesday still needed stories: Rockies 13, Nationals 1, White Sox 10, Rangers 4, Brewers 8, Mets 1, Yankees 9, Astros 3, Phillies 6, Mariners 0 (Luzardo, 30 pitching FP), and Reds 10, Giants 9.
What stood out
Sale's 41 points sat in a different sport from everyone else. A 1-0 complete game with 11 strikeouts will do that. Chourio and Caglianone owned the hitter board on a short slate. Kansas City's 13-2 card still needed the lineup, not only Cameron's six innings.
Yamamoto ranking third in a loss is the board working as designed.
