Sánchez Chases Alexander's Record

Cristopher Sánchez is on the brink of Phillies history, with a 37⅓-inning scoreless streak that’s just four innings shy of tying Grover Cleveland Alexander’s 1911 record—and potentially matching Orel Hershiser’s legendary 59-inning streak. Dominant in May, he’s struck out 36 in 32 scoreless innings, joining elite company like Kershaw and Walsh. He’s also the first Phillie since Alexander to post four consecutive scoreless starts of at least seven innings. Against the Padres, some hitters like Tatis Jr. have found success, while others—including Freddy Fermin, who’s already homered twice in two at-bats—have struggled. Sánchez is in the zone, and the baseball world is watching. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
