Sánchez Shuts Door for Phillies

Cristopher Sánchez just rewrote Phillies history with 44⅓ consecutive scoreless innings, shattering Grover Cleveland Alexander’s 1911 record and setting a new club mark with five straight starts of at least seven shutout innings. Despite early adversity — runners on base in the first, second, and fourth — he locked down every frame, striking out nine on exactly 100 pitches while allowing just six hits. Trea Turner’s two-homer game and a 3-0 win over the Padres capped a dominant May where Sánchez tossed 39 innings, struck out 45, walked none, and allowed zero runs. The Phillies head to LA next to face the Dodgers, with Zack Wheeler on the mound. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
