The Washington Nationals defeated the New York Mets last night in a relatively routine fashion.
Patrick Corbin was sensational, throwing eight innings of one-run ball and striking out 11 Mets.
To take two out of three from the Mets and win the series, Anibal Sanchez needs to pitch well. In general, if the Nats want to make a run at the postseason, Sanchez needs to revert to his 2018 self.
However, over the last month, Sanchez is struggling mightily.
Over his last five starts, Sanchez’s longest outing, in terms of innings pitched, is 5.
