Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Swipes bag, reaches four times
Rotowire
Sanchez went 3-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over Minnesota.
Sanchez drew a walk in the fifth inning and then reached base on singles in each of his next three trips to the plate, but he was left stranded on each occasion. He was, however, able to swipe his 15th bag of the season and his fifth in the month of September while also extending his hitting streak to five games. The performance marked Sanchez's eighth game this season in which he tallied three or more hits. On the downside, he's struck out multiple times in three straight contests.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Launches 480-foot blast
Rotowire
Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's loss to the Reds.
Sanchez hammered one off reliever Jakob Junis in the sixth inning for his 13th home run this season. Sanchez's 480-foot homer was the longest in the majors this season, but it wasn't even the longest of his career, as he hit one 496 feet back in May of 2022. The 26-year-old broke out of a stretch of 11 games without a homer, and since the Marlins latest fire sale at the trade deadline, he's one of the few potent bats remaining in their lineup.
