Sanchez (8-8) took the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing seven runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out four in 4.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks pushed a run across in the first before opening things up with four more runs in the third against Sanchez. He eventually exited after allowing back-to-back base hits in the fifth and both runners came around to score on a bases-clearing triple by Jake McCarthy. Sunday was Sanchez's first time going fewer than five innings since he gave up seven runs versus the Cubs on July 4, and his 12 hits allowed was a season worst. Sanchez has a 6.63 ERA over his last seven starts and is now up to 131.1 innings pitched this season, which is 32 more innings than his previous career high. He'll look to turn things around in a projected meeting against the Nationals over the weekend.
