Sánchez Scoreless Streak Reaches Historic Levels for PHI
The Phillies lefty hasn't allowed a run since April 30, posting 45 strikeouts and just 3 walks over that dominant stretch.
Cristopher Sánchez has now thrown 44 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, the seventh-longest streak in the live-ball era and the longest ever by a left-handed pitcher. He has been scoreless in five straight starts through the entire month of May. Over that span he has struck out 45 batters while issuing only 3 walks. The performance has elevated Sánchez into serious NL Cy Young Award contention.
