SAN DIEGO — Detroit Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez is eager to show his starting debut this year was no fluke when facing the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
Detroit will be trying to snap a season-high, seven-game losing streak in the middle of a three-game series.
Sanchez was solid in his first start of the season, which came Monday against the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers lost, but a silver lining was Sanchez’s performance.
Sanchez looked more like the dependable right-handed starter he was earlier in his career than the one last seen in the majors in a mop-up role.
