🤯 Cristopher Sánchez Just Put Up 50 2/3 Consecutive Scoreless Innings. Third Best in Baseball History.

Cristopher Sánchez was untouchable. 🤯⚾

Six clean innings before allowing a two-out double to Ty France in the 7th. Then an RBI single to Jackson Merrill ended the streak at 50 2/3 innings — the longest by a left-hander in baseball history, surpassing Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell's 45 1/3 set back in 1933.

Only Orel Hershiser (59) and Don Drysdale (58) have ever done it longer. The whole stadium gave him a standing ovation mid-inning. 👏

And then — the 7th inning flipped everything.

The Shift

J.T. Realmuto stepped in against Jason Adam. 422-foot solo shot. Gone. 🚀

Kyle Schwarber right behind him. Solo HR. His MLB-leading 23rd of the season. Back-to-back. Just like that — 3-1 Phillies.

Jason Adam? 0.2 innings. 2 HRs. 2 ER. 3 hits. ERA ballooned to 27 on the night. 😬

Jhoan Duran closed it in the 9th for his 14th save. Clean. Clinical. Done.

The Best-Kept Secret in Baseball

Sánchez record: 7-2. He's been dominant all season and nobody outside Philadelphia seems to be talking about it. That's changing now. After 50 2/3 innings of zeroes, the whole baseball world knows who he is.

The Phillies sit at 52.8% playoff odds — quietly in the conversation in the NL East. The Padres dropped to 43.8%. San Diego is 32-28 and has some thinking to do after this one.

Is Cristopher Sánchez the most dominant pitcher in baseball right now? The numbers say yes. The eye test says yes. And now everybody else knows it too.
