Sánchez Hits 16 Wins as Phillies Climb Wild Card | MLB News

Cristopher Sánchez just made history, becoming the first pitcher this season to notch 16 wins as he led the Phillies to a thrilling 6-5 victory over the Marlins — pushing Philly into the second NL wild-card spot.

Despite four times clawing back within one run — including a solo homer in the eighth — Miami couldn’t break through. Jhoan Duran closed it down for his 27th save.
