The starting rotation has really been something. A strength of the team that we were aware of coming into the season, if possible, it’s been stronger than that. Tonight, Cristopher Sanchez is trying to continue the streak and continue what has been a remarkable resurgence.

Think about that for a bit. Think about where Sanchez was a few years ago, how that trade was thought of.
