Sanchez

Sánchez ahead of Aaron Nola is a surprise, but he’s proven to be a tough matchup against the Mets, going 1-0 with a 3.06 ERA in three starts against them this year. The Phillies will presumably use Nola in Game 3 and Ranger Suárez in Game 4.

Sanchez gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four. He allowed a three-run home run to Nico Hoerner. Overall, Sanchez wasn’t efficient with his pitches. He was pulled before he could complete five innings with 94 pitches, which cost him the win in a game the Phillies once led 8-4. Sanchez finished the season with 11-9 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 153 strikeouts in 181 2/3 innings. It’s the first season for Sanchez with 30 starts and while he’s not quite a strikeout per inning guy, his 3.19 xFIP this year suggests his plus ratios weren’t a fluke.

Sánchez, like David Peterson, was tasked with facing this same Mets lineup for the second straight start and it felt like they were ready for him after putting up two runs in the first inning. Then, he settled in nicely, despite a heap of walks, and hung on just long enough to earn the win. There was one tense moment even after the Phillies built up an 8-2 lead when Sánchez walked Starling Marte and Mark Vientos to load the bases for Pete Alonso. He got tough, struck out Alonso on three pitches, and ended his night on a high note. Sánchez is scheduled to face the Cubs next in his final start of the regular season.

Sánchez is as locked in as any pitcher in the league right now. His seven shut-out innings pushed his scoreless innings streak to 19 before Tyrone Taylor’s late homer broke this 0-0 tie. Still, that one blemish should not dampen this gem. His changeup was lethal forcing nine swings-and-misses and his sinker worked beautifully off of it. He’s pitching like a true ace right now and is lined up to face the Mets again next weekend at Citi Field.

Sanchez gave up four hits, walked one and struck out four. He was in line for the victory before Brandon Lowe’s pinch hit home run that tied the game in the top of the ninth inning. Sanchez has allowed three runs or less in six of his last seven starts and has a a 3.25 ERA and 37 strikeouts in 44 1/3 innings in that time. He’s 10-9 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 135 strikeouts in 165 innings on the year. The 27-year-old left-hander is set to face the Mets at home this weekend.

Sánchez struck out seven and walked none. He has a 23/2 K/BB ratio in his last three starts and is at 131/36 in 159 innings for the year. Next up for him is a start against a Rays team that signed and developed him before trading him to Philadelphia for Curtis Mead after the 2019 season.

Sanchez gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out eight. This was one of his better starts of the second half of the season. Sanchez had a 4.81 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in the second half entering play Thursday. He’s 9-9 with a 3.49 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 124 strikeouts in 152 innings this year. The 27-year-old left-hander is set to face the Blue Jays on the road next week.

Sánchez was slated to face the Astros on Wednesday, but he’s switching spots with Taijuan Walker in order to get some extra rest. It’ll be a second straight start for Sánchez against Atlanta, as he gave up three runs over six innings in a loss last Thursday.

Sanchez gave up nine hits, walked one and struck out eight. A mixed bag for Sanchez here. In his last start, he threw a complete game while allowing only two hits and one run, though he had just four strikeouts. In this start, his strikeouts were up, but he also allowed nine hits. He’s allowed at least seven hits in six of his last nine starts and has a 5.43 ERA in that stretch. Sanchez made his first All-Star team this year, but he’s struggling in the second half of the year. The 27-year-old left-hander is set to face the Astros at home next week.

Sanchez gave up two hits, walked none and struck out four. The win was his ninth of the year. Sanchez bounced back in a big way from his last start, when he was absolutely shelled by the Diamondbacks. He dominated the Nationals. Washington’s only run came on a fourth inning home run by Alex Call. Sanchez isn’t a big time strikeout pitcher, which leaves him more susceptible to blow up outings, but his 3.46 ERA on the season is still very good. The 27-year-old left-hander is set to face the Braves on the road next week.
