• Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Drops third straight

  07/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sanchez (7-7) took the loss against the Yankees Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven. Sanchez didn't pitch as poorly as his final line would indicate -- the majority of the damage against him came on DJ LeMahieu's grand slam in the second inning. The left-hander would then keep the Yankees off the board for three straight innings. Sanchez allowed a pair of two-out singles in the sixth before he was replaced by Jose Ruiz, who would allow both inherited runners to score. It's the third straight loss for Sanchez, who's struggled to a 6.59 ERA in his last five outings. His ERA is up to 3.36 on the season with a 1.28 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 21 starts (120.2 innings). Sanchez is projected for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers early next week.

• Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Gets little help in loss

  07/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Sanchez (7-5) took the loss Saturday as the Phillies were downed 4-1 by the Pirates, giving up two runs on eight hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out two without walking a batter. The southpaw didn't pitch poorly, tossing 56 of 90 pitches for strikes as he fell just short of his 11th quality start of the season, but the Phillies' offense couldn't solve Luis Ortiz. Sanchez has allowed two runs or less in five of his last six starts, posting a 2.79 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB in 38.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Guardians.
