Cristopher Sanchez Tosses Six Scoreless Innings
Cristopher Sanchez was dominant on Wednesday, pitching six shutout innings and earning the win in a 7-0 victory against the Rays. He allowed one hit and three walks while striking out five. He's only allowed more than two runs in a start one time all season, and he now holds a 2.89 ERA with 44 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings. Although he didn't strike out many batters in this start, he limited the damage by inducing ground balls. This isn't anything new for the left-hander, whose 58.3% ground ball rate in 2024 ranked in the top five percent of the league. He'll look to keep things going in his next outing, which is currently lined up to be against the Cardinals.
