In the fourth inning, Manny Machado hit a deep fly ball to left field that forced Panamanian Edmundo Sosa to move to the warning track to make the out. Later, Dominican Ram\u00f3n Laureano hit a double with two outs, putting the potential run in scoring position, but S\u00e1nchez dominated Jackson Merrill with a ground ball to the infield to preserve the score.\n\nThe Dominican&#8217;s streak began on April 30 against the San Francisco Giants and since then he has become one of the most dominant pitchers in Major League Baseball.\n\nAmong the longest scoreless innings streaks in Phillies history now include:\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cristopher S\u00e1nchez (2026): 44.1 innings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grover Alexander (1911): 41.0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cliff Lee (2011): 34.0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Larry Andersen (1984): 32.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turk Farrell (1957-1958): 32.2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nAdditionally, Sanchez continues to approach historical records in the Major Leagues. His streak is currently the seventh longest in a single season during the Live Ball Era (since 1920), chasing legendary marks like those of Orel Hershiser and Don Drysdale.\n\nDuring the month of May, S\u00e1nchez has been practically untouchable:\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 openings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>39 innings pitched<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>45 strikeouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 walks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0 earned runs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nAccording to historical statistics, S\u00e1nchez and Orel Hershiser are the only pure starters to complete an entire month without allowing runs with at least four starts.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seattle Takes the Top of the West<\/h2>\n\n\nIn another highlight of the day, the Seattle Mariners climbed to the top of the American League West Division after completing a sweep of the Athletics with a 9-1 victory in West Sacramento.\n\nDominican Julio Rodr\u00edguez was one of the offensive figures of the game by hitting a three-run homer, while Logan Gilbert earned the 50th win of his career.\n\nSeattle largely dominated the series with a 22-4 run differential, showcasing a solid combination of offense and pitching to take the divisional lead for the first time this season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego, USA \u2013 Dominican pitcher Cristopher S\u00e1nchez wrote a new page in the history of the Philadelphia Phillies after extending his impressive streak of scoreless innings and setting a new franchise record.
