The Dominican left-hander pitched eight scoreless innings, extending his streak to 37.2 innings without allowing runs, the second-longest in franchise history since 1893. Sánchez struck out six batters and allowed only four hits, solidifying himself as one of the most outstanding pitchers of the moment.
