Christopher Sanchez Sets Phillies Record for Consecutive Scoreless Innings

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cristopher Sánchez surpassed Hall of Famer Grover Alexander for the longest scoreless innings streak by any Phillies pitcher since 1893 (when the mound moved to its current distance) on Wednesday during a 3-0 win over the Padres in San Diego. The left-hander’s streak is now up to 44 2/3 consecutive innings (and counting), eclipsing Alexander’s 41-inning streak as a rookie in 1911. Sanchez pitched seven scoreless innings at Petco Park
