Game 71 - Sanchez, Offense Sputter Out in Finale

Philadelphia Phillies  0 
Milwaukee Brewers  4 

1992 Fleer #521
Sunday Afternoon, June 14th
American Family Field - Milwaukee, WI
38-33, 2nd Place, 8 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  Cristopher Sanchez experienced a rare off-day and the Phillies offense couldn't get a thing going in this 4-0 shutout loss.

What It Means:  Well that was disappointing.  The Phillies open up a six-game homestead against the Marlins on Monday night.  The Mets come to town for three beginning on Thursday.

What Happened:  Settling in to watch Sanchez take care of the Brewers line-up, my plans were quickly scuttled when Jackson Chourio connected for a first inning home run, and Blake Perkins followed with a three-run home run in the fourth.  The Phillies offense managed four singles and not one runner reached scoring position against starter Kyle Harrison and relievers Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby.  Sanchez dropped to 8-3, allowing four runs on eight hits and striking out only three in 5 2/3 innings.

Featured Card:  Reliever Ashby is the nephew of former Phillie Andy Ashy, who spent time with the club in two different stints in 1991-92 and 2000.
