The Phillies fell short in Saturday’s 4-2 loss against the Mets, but seemed to have found a fifth starter in Cristopher Sanchez — at least for the time being.
With the trade deadline approaching, like every other team, the Phillies will be looking for ways to upgrade wherever they can. But the manager had already showed a measure of confidence in Sanchez, who could have been skipped over this time around following Wednesday’s rainout.Said Sanchez, through interpreter Diego Ettedgui: “I’m trying to take advantage of this opportunity as much as possible. I really want to be here until the end of the season.
He wasn’t overpowering Saturday, but was able to avoid a big inning. The first batter of the game, Mets centerfielder Brandon Nimmo, hit a sharp grounder deep in the hole at shortstop, only to have Trea Turner turn it into an out with an excellent defensive play. Second baseman Luis Guillorme started the third with a triple, forcing the Phillies to pull the infield all the way in. Sanchez got a break when third baseman Danny Mendick hit a grounder right at Turner for the first out.
