Jesus Sanchez Shines in Victory Against Rays
Jesus Sanchez was the star of the club's 11-10 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. Sanchez finished 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and five RBI to lead the Marlins' offensive onslaught. With the Marlins down 4-1 in the third, Sanchez stepped to the plate with two men on and crushed a 425-foot bomb off right-hander Taj Bradley to tie the game. His two-run double in the fifth inning gave the Marlins a 7-6 lead, and they never trailed again after that. Sanchez was the owner of a dreary .610 OPS at the end of April, but his production has taken massive steps forward over the past month-plus. Since the start of May, the 27-year-old has raised his line to .269/.354/.417 with five HRs, 23 RBI, and six steals over 172 plate appearances. He has a difficult matchup Sunday against Rays righty Drew Rasmussen, who has gone four straight starts without allowing a run.
