Allow us to be the final ones to bring this nugget into your life: former Philadelphia Phillies prospect Sixto Sánchez made his postseason debut for the Miami Marlins Friday afternoon, meaning he pitched in a playoff game before Aaron Nola.
Sánchez wasn’t perfect Friday, but he pitched five shutout innings, limiting the Chicago Cubs to just four hits while striking out six. Over his final two innings Friday, Sánchez stranded five runners on base. He was aided by an outfield assist from right fielder Matt Joyce in the bottom of the fourth, which kept a run from scoring on a Jason Heyward single.
