Yordan \u00c1lvarez and Otto L\u00f3pez are named Players of the Week in Major League Baseball<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nS\u00e1nchez, who entered the game with a 2.00 ERA and was among the top candidates for the National League Cy Young Award and even to start the upcoming All-Star Game, allowed career highs with 12 hits, nine runs, and three home runs in just 3.1 innings of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dominican left-hander had a first inning to forget. After a throwing error by shortstop Trea Turner that prevented a possible double play, the Kansas City offense exploded for six runs, including a three-run home run by Luke Maile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later on, S\u00e1nchez was also punished with solo home runs by Venezuelan Salvador P\u00e9rez and Lane Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this performance, his earned run average increased from 2.00 to 2.62. Furthermore, since his historic streak of 50.2 consecutive scoreless innings ended, he has recorded a 5.56 ERA over his last six starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The defeat also marked the first series lost for Philadelphia since mid-June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nSchlittler responds with a gem and Jos\u00e9 Caballero hits two home runs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In St. Petersburg, Cam Schlittler put his worst outing of the year behind him by pitching eight solid innings of one-run ball, guiding the New York Yankees to a 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The right-hander allowed just four hits, issued no walks, and struck out eight batters in a 101-pitch performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Yankees’ offense was led by Panamanian Jos\u00e9 Caballero, who hit two home runs, including a three-run shot in the fifth inning and another in the eighth inning to reach 10 home runs on the season, the highest total of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
