Daily News | Defense, bats doom Phillies in series opener vs. Nationals despite good outing from Cristopher Sánchez
Some starters will retire to the clubhouse immediately after their outing is done. Or they’ll get treatment, do a workout, or watch video. Everyone is different. But on Friday night, Cristopher Sánchez threw his final pitch and decided to wait a while.
“He’s been really good,” he said. “We gave him the ball the first night in Oakland and he’s kind of run with it. He’s given us some good outings. And that’s what you need from your fifth starter. He’s really calm, he’s filling up the strike zone, and his stuff’s good now.” The Phillies were facing Nationals starter Josiah Gray, who entered his start with a 5.64 career ERA in 30⅓ innings against them. Despite that history, Gray entered his start with a 2.48 ERA on the road this season, which ranks second in the National League. He was just as dominant on Friday.
Despite that, this was a winnable game for the Phillies. The Nationals have a bullpen ERA of 4.81, fourth-worst in baseball. But they still weren’t able to do damage.
