Daily News | Phillies beat Rays to win 12th straight road game as Cristopher Sánchez stymies former team
“I think the development of the changeup — and a little bit of his breaking ball, too — has improved a lot,” Thomson said. “But if he can throw strikes, he’s got a good chance.”
Sánchez overcame a one-out single in the sixth and turned over a 1-1 game to the bullpen. Yunior Marte, José Alvarado, and Craig Kimbrel kept the high-scoring Rays off the board until extra innings, when Matt Strahm delivered two scoreless frames. So much has changed since the Phillies picked up Sánchez that he must have been almost unrecognizable to the Rays officials who knew him back then.
But Sánchez never emerged as more than a depth starter. He spent most of the last two seasons in triple A. Internally, Phillies officials debated whether to move him to the bullpen.
