And Brad Ausmus' decision to leave Sanchez in the game on Sunday only complicated matters.
DETROIT -- Anibal Sanchez's outing wasn't the only thing to go wrong in Sunday's messy loss, but it was the key one. As light's out as he was in the second through the fifth innings, Sanchez's sixth inning implosion was what stood out above the rest. And he had help getting there, both from the bench and on the field.
Neither pitch that Sanchez threw to both hitters who homered was bad. In fact, it's a fluke either batter hit them out of the park.
