DETROIT — Perhaps Marco Estrada can learn a thing or two from Anibal Sanchez.
Struggling Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Estrada, who takes the hill for in Sunday’s finale of their three game series with the Detroit Tigers, faces Sanchez, who is writing quite a remarkable comeback story this season.
Things started so badly for Sanchez this season that he basically assigned himself to the minor leagues in late May.
“He accepted that assignment to go pitch in Toledo so he could take another shot at starting,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said.
So far, it’s a move that is paying dividends for the 33-year-old right-hander.
