One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez continued his dominant season, while setting the all-time record for consecutive scoreless innings by a left-handed pitcher with 50 2/3.
What It Means: Sanchez passed lefty Carl Hubbell on the all-time list, as Hubbell's streak was 45 1/3 scoreless innings in 1933. Sanchez incredibly now finds himself third all-time on the list, behind just Orel Hershiser (59 innings in 1988) and Don Drysdale (58 innings in 1968). Absolutely amazing.
What Happened: The Phillies had to score some runs to support Sanchez's gem, and Adolis Garcia delivered with an RBI double in the fifth, scoring Bryson Stott who had doubled to start the inning. In the top of the seventh, the scoreless streak came to an end when Ty France doubled with two outs and scored on a Jackson Merrill single to left. Both hits were clean, and if the streak had to end, I'm glad it ended this way instead of on an error or a bloop home run from someone. The Phillies took back the lead in the seventh, on solo home runs from J.T. Realmuto (3) and Kyle Schwarber (23). Jhoan Duran was perfect again in the ninth, earning his 14th save.
Featured Card: Sanchez received a Topps Now card for his efforts. He went seven innings, allowing four hits, the one run and striking out eight. He's now 7-2 with a 1.46 ERA and hopefully heading for an All-Star Game start.
