Summary
Cristopher Sanchez is rewriting the Phillies’ pitching legacy this season, leading MLB with 17 wins and a jaw-dropping 7.6 bWAR while tying for the league lead in complete games and shutouts. Across 187 innings, he’s fanned 210 batters at a blistering 2.79 ERA — and he’s part of history with Jesus Luzardo, becoming only the third lefty duo to strike out over 200 in back-to-back seasons. His home dominance was nearly unmatched: 17 straight starts at Citizens Bank Park where he pitched 5+ innings and struck out 5+, trailing only Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling. That streak ended abruptly on September 9th when the Astros exploded for six runs on 10 hits, including two homers — though he still went six innings and struck out three. Even with that hiccup, his home numbers remain elite: 12-2 record, 2.21 ERA, and 125 strikeouts. Sanchez’s brilliance is fueling the Phillies’ charge toward contention.
