Philadelphia southpaw Cristopher Sánchez keeps dealing. After tossing seven scoreless innings in a 3-0 win Wednesday over the Padres, Sánchez extended his scoreless innings streak to 44.2 innings, breaking the Phillies franchise record held by Hall of Famer Grover Alexander, set in 1911 at 41 innings.
Sanchez, the NL Cy Young runner-up to Paul Skenes last season, improved to 6-2 on the season and lowered his ERA to 1.47. He last yielded a run on April 30, against the Giants. Six of his 12 outings this season have been scoreless.
My take: He's scary gooood. The Phillies historically aren't known for dominant lefties, with the exception of Hall of Famer Steve Carlton, and Cole Hamels to an extent. If he stays healthy, he will be in the Carlton conversation.
