Detroit – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Sanchez, I presume?
Five days ago, Anibal Sanchez gave up eight runs in four innings to the Rangers. He came into his start Wednesday with an ERA north of 6 (6.31) and a WHIP of 1.580. He’d won one start since April 28.
Then suddenly it’s 2013 again and Sanchez is unhittable?
Go figure.
Sanchez, the American League ERA champ in 2013, breezed through the Royals batting order without giving up a hit until Eric Hosmer doubled with two outs in the seventh. He was brilliant and left after seven innings with a 1-0 lead.
