Sánchez Sets Phillies Franchise Record by Extending Scoreless Streak to 44 2/3 Innings
- On Wednesday, Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sánchez extended his scoreless innings streak to 44 2/3 innings at Petco Park, breaking Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander's 41-inning franchise record from 1911.
- Sánchez's scoreless run originated April 30 against the San Francisco Giants, spanning five dominant starts where he struck out 45 batters, walked three, and posted a 0.74 WHIP before breaking Alexander's mark.
- Against San Diego, Sánchez threw 100 pitches allowing six hits with nine strikeouts and zero walks; his fifth strikeout marked his 600th career strikeout while leading MLB with a 3.7 bWAR and the National League's lowest ERA.
- Edmundo Sosa caught Manny Machado's fly ball at the wall in the fourth inning; Sánchez then struck out Xander Bogaerts and Jackson Merrill's groundout sealed the record as he exited with a 2-0 lead.
- Sánchez's 44 2/3-inning streak leaves him 14 2/3 innings short of Orel Hershiser's all-time 59-inning record from 1988. The 29-year-old faces an off day Thursday before a weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
