Philadelphia (31-29) won the series opener versus San Diego (32-27), 3-2, thanks to Alec Bohm‘s RBI through a double play in the sixth inning. Aaron Nola struck out eight and didn’t walk a soul in the Phillies’ win.
Cristopher Sanchez takes the mound for the Phillies for game two of the series and he’s the hottest pitcher in all of baseball. Sanchez is the odds on favorite to win the NL Cy Young Award thanks to 44.2 innings of scoreless action. You have to go back six starts for Sanchez last earned run. Sanchez broke a 115-year record for scoreless innings streak in Phillies history. The all-time record is held by Orel Hershiser, who went 59 straight innings without allowing a run in 1988 with the Dodgers.
San Diego has lost three straight games and seven of the past eight. The Padres are struggling offensively with a .227 batting average over the last four games (23rd) and .202 (28th) in the past 11. San Diego has scored three or fewer runs in seven of the previous nine games. This will be a tough test versus Sanchez.
