Overview

  • On July 22, Sánchez allowed one run on four hits with zero walks and struck out 12 over nine innings to power Philadelphia’s 4-1 victory over Boston.
  • It was his third career complete game and one of only three such performances this season in which a pitcher recorded 12 or more strikeouts without issuing a walk.
  • In four July starts he has logged at least seven innings and yielded just one earned run per outing while amassing 31 strikeouts.
  • His season ERA dropped to 2.40 and his 134 strikeouts rank tied for 18th in the National League through July 22.
  • The win improved the Phillies to 58-43, extending their NL East lead and easing strain on a bullpen that has struggled to cover late innings.
