San Diego, USA – Dominican pitcher Cristopher Sánchez has rewritten the history of the Philadelphia Phillies, setting a new franchise record with his impressive streak of scoreless innings. Sánchez threw seven impeccable innings in the Phillies’ 3-0 victory over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. With this performance, he extended his streak to 44.1 consecutive innings without allowing runs, the longest for a Phillies pitcher since 1893. The lefty surpassed the previous record, which belonged to Hall of Famer Grover Alexander, who had recorded 41 consecutive scoreless innings in the 1911 season.
Sánchez’s performance was full of key moments. In the fourth inning, a deep fly ball from Manny Machado to left field forced Edmundo Sosa to make an important defensive play. Later, Ramón Laureano hit a double with two outs, but Sánchez managed to dominate Jackson Merrill to keep his streak intact.
The Dominican’s impressive streak began on April 30 against the San Francisco Giants, and since then he has established himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in Major League Baseball.Phillies’ No-Run Records
