Phillies Win in Toronto, 5-2 — Sánchez Punches Out 10, García Goes Deep

Phillies 5, Blue Jays 2 up at Rogers Centre to open the road trip. Cristopher Sánchez does exactly what the show promised the night before, seven innings, ten strikeouts, two earned, the eleventh ten-punchout game of his career. Adolis García gets it started with a two-run homer in the second, then the Phillies hang three in the third on a Bohm single, a Realmuto single, and a bases-loaded Bryson Stott walk, all of it off a Patrick Corbin who couldn't find the plate. Ernie Clement's solo shot is the only real Toronto damage. Bryce Harper challenges the home plate umpire twice and the computer overturns the call both times, then walks both times, Blue Jays hitting coach David Popkins gets tossed in the fourth, and Jhoan Duran slams the door at a hundred miles an hour for his sixteenth save. The Phillies are thirty-six and thirty, seven and three over their last ten, still up a game and a half for the last wild card.
