Christopher Sanchez had a rough night, allowing 11 of the Giants’ 12 hits, the second highest total against him in his career.

A rough night for the Phillies’ ace is still a decent night for some, as only two of the four runs credited to him during his 5. 0+ IP were earned due to several miscues by his backing group. Giants’ lefty starter, Robbie Ray, dominated all night, scattering six baserunners on three hits and three walks across 109 pitches with seven punch outs.

With a left-hander on the mound, Alec Bohm out of the lineup nursing a sore groin, and JT Realmuto leaving the game after the first inning following a foul ball ricocheting off his right foot, the lineup featured the whole bench in Edmundo Sosa, Otto Kemp, Dylan Moore and Rafael Marchan. Sanchez’s only clean inning came in a 1-2-3 bottom of the fourth, but he allowed multiple runners to reach base in each of the four others.
