Anibal Sanchez got the start tonight. Most nights, that means an automatic loss based on the fact he will put the game out of reach. Tonight, it was a different story as Sanchez has his best start of the season.
He finished with a line of 6+ IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, but his stuff was much better than that final line. He should not have come back to start the 7th inning and Bruce Rondon allowed both of his inherited runners to score.
He featured fastball command he has not shown all season, spotting it all around the strike zone, and at the top of the strike zone to get himself swings and misses.
