Citizens Bank Park - Philadelphia, PA
25-26, 2nd Place, 10 1/2 games behind the Braves
25-26, 2nd Place, 10 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Christopher Sanchez's eight shutout innings was wasted in this 1-0 loss, as Guardians' starter Gavin Williams shut down the Phillies offense.
What It Means: The Phillies have scored nine runs in the last four games, and they'll try to right the ship this afternoon if the weather cooperates.
What Happened: Sanchez extended his scoreless streak to 37 2/3 innings, passing Cliff Lee's mark of 34 scoreless innings. Sanchez now owns the second longest scoreless streak in franchise history, with his sights on the all-time record of 41 straight scoreless innings set by Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander. Sanchez allowed four hits and struck out six. Jhoan Duran allowed a ninth inning solo home run to pinch-hitter Kyle Manzardo for the only run of the game. Williams struck out 11 Phillies and Cade Smith pitched a perfect ninth to record his league-leading 17th save.
Featured Card: Here's a Lee card the Phillies included in their team-issued postcard set given away on Fan Appreciation Day in 2011. Lee's streak included three consecutive shutouts in June 2011.

Field Report: Jenna and I attended this game, picking up our Sanchez bobble heads, and never actually making it to our seats due to the steady drizzle falling throughout the night. We were lucky enough to squeeze in at a table with family at Pass and Stow, staying dry and hoping for any kind of offense to support Sanchez's gem.
