Recently crowned NL Pitcher of the Month Cristopher Sánchez saw his historic scoreless innings streak come to an end tonight, but that didn't stop him from dealing!
Seven innings. Eight punchouts. Swing-and-miss stuff. Elite execution. This is what Cristopher Sánchez does.
“He’s a special, special player. I am glad to see he’s finally getting the recognition that he’s deserved for so many years.”
- JT Realmuto on Cristopher Sanchez
The fact that it was ended by a cheap single reinforces just impressive the streak was. At any point over the past month-plus a ball could’ve dropped, taken a bad bounce, got caught in the wind, etc. Even as unpredictable as this sport can be he displayed superhuman consistency.
