Cristopher Sanchez Tosses Complete Game On Saturday
3 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez tossed a complete game on Saturday to lead the Phillies to a victory. The southpaw allowed just two hits and one earned run while striking out four. This was a nice bounce back for the 27-year-old as he served up seven earned runs in his previous outing against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Since July 4, Sanchez has struggled to find consistency as he sports a 6.63 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP through 38 innings of work. Overall, Sanchez sits with a 3.46 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 34:108 BB:K ratio. Under the hood, he carries an excellent 59.1% ground ball rate and a 5.1% barrel rate, which suggests he should have a nice end to the campaign. Sanchez is slated to face the Kansas City Royals next week and should remain in all standard lineups going forward.
