Gives up three runs in loss
Sanchez (16-5) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.
Analysis
Sanchez put the Phillies on the back foot early by allowing three runs in the second inning. He kept Atlanta off the board the rest of the way and secured a second straight quality start, but he didn't get quite enough run support from his Phillies teammates to avoid the loss, and his five punchouts were his fewest since July 6 against the Royals (one). Sanchez will take a 2.58 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 181.1 innings into his next start, which lines up for next week at home against the Astros.

Dominant in no-decision
Sanchez allowed two hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.
Analysis
After a small misstep against the Cardinals last Sunday, Sanchez delivered a gem to get himself back on track. This was the first time he's completed seven innings in a start since the All-Star break, but he's also given up just 13 runs (12 earned) over 48 frames across his eight starts in the second half. Sanchez is at an excellent 2.52 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 202:39 K:BB through 175.1 innings over 28 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home in a critical matchup against Atlanta.
