Sánchez became just the fifth pitcher since 1893 - when the mound was moved to its current distance - to record a 50-plus inning shutout streak when he started Wednesday's game with six scoreless frames against the San Diego Padres.
His run finally came to an end during the top of the seventh when Jackson Merrill ripped an RBI single to tie the game 1-1. Although Sánchez got two outs to start the seventh, his streak officially goes into the books as 50 2/3 innings - the fifth-longest since 1893 and a new record for left-handed pitchers.
