Philadelphia’s Cristopher Sanchez watched his remarkable scoreless innings streak reach 50⅔ before finally surrendering a run during the Phillies’ narrow 3-2 victory against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday evening.
The Dominican southpaw (7-2) maintained a perfect month of May without allowing any runs and received recognition earlier Wednesday as the National League’s Pitcher of the Month. His June debut continued that dominance until Jackson Merrill connected for an RBI hit with two runners out in the seventh frame.
Sanchez completed seven innings, giving up just one run on four hits while walking one batter and recording eight strikeouts. His scoreless run ranks as the fifth-best in baseball history and establishes the record for any left-handed hurler.
The Phillies secured the win when J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber both connected against San Diego reliever Jason Adam (2-1) during the seventh inning. Philadelphia’s Jhoan Duran closed out the victory in the ninth for his 14th save of the campaign.
