Cristopher Sánchez of the @Phillies is the only MLB pitcher in the modern era with 40+ strikeouts and no runs allowed in a calendar month.

[MLB @MLB]

Cristopher Sánchez extends his scoreless streak to 41.2 innings, passing Grover Cleveland Alexander's 41 IP (1911) for a new @Phillies record!

[Alex Cheremeteff @AlexCheremeteff]

Since the current pitching distance (60'6") was adopted by #MLB in 1893, only two pitchers in @Phillies history have pitched 7+ innings with 0 runs allowed over 4 consecutive starts.

Grover Cleveland Alexander: 9/7-21, 1911 (36 IP, 14 H, 6 BB, 23 K)

Cristopher Sánchez: 5/5-22, 2026 (32 IP, 19 H, 3 BB, 36 K)

Don Mattingly may as well get used to the manager's seat at Citizens Bank Park. Another month and it will be his job permanently. #Phillies #MLB

Sometimes this world wears you out and leaves you cynical … and then you see a moment like this and realize there will always be more good than bad.
