Sánchez scoreless streak hits 44⅔ innings, tops NL Cy Young contenders
The Phillies lefty is averaging nearly seven innings per start and closing in on historically elite scoreless-inning territory.
Cristopher Sánchez has set a Philadelphia Phillies franchise record with a 44⅔-inning scoreless streak. He is averaging close to seven innings per start, well above the modern MLB norm of roughly four innings. His performance currently places him atop informal NL Cy Young discussions ahead of names like Shohei Ohtani and Corbin Burns. The streak is approaching the vicinity of Orel Hershiser's all-time MLB record of 59 consecutive scoreless innings.
