The Phillies will look to close the series on a high note and bounce back after Wednesday’s performance.
Although the game was tied 4–4 at one point, they allowed seven unanswered runs.
On Thursday, they should respond with a win and split the home series against San Francisco.
[subheader sizedown=”true” text=”Cristopher Sanchez Over 5.5 Strikeouts” subtext=”” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/phi.png” link1=”” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Cristopher Sanchez has had a solid start to the season. While his ERA is on the higher side, he’s allowed more than one run in just one of his three starts.
He’s also struck out 19 batters in three games this season.
The Giants have a tendency to strike out, currently ranking in the top five for most strikeouts per game this season.
The young ace will look to rack up the strikeouts, and keep the Giants to a low-scoring affair after they dropped 11 runs on the Phillies on Wednesday.
