Cristopher Sánchez Chases Historic Shutout Record

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sánchez is nearing Orel Hershiser’s MLB record, currently riding a 44 2/3 consecutive scoreless inning streak. Sánchez has dominated hitters throughout May using an elite sinker-slider-changeup mix, becoming a cornerstone of the Phillies' rotation. As the streak continues, Hershiser has noted the immense pressure and focus required to maintain such a run, as the Phillies rely heavily on Sánchez's ability to keep zeros on the board.
