TORONTO, ON - SEPTEMBER 04: Cristopher Sanchez #61 of the Philadelphia Phillies delivers a pitch in the first inning during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on September 04, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Game 1 did not go the way the Phillies wanted. Zack Wheeler was fantastic, but the lineup and the bullpen were less so. So now in game 2, it falls on Cristopher Sanchez to right the ship. Can he follow in Wheeler’s footsteps and pitch a gem?

Cristopher Sanchez has faced the Mets 6 times in his career, plus 3 appearances out of the bullpen. He has a 3.62 ERA across 37.1 innings. He faced them 3 times this season, and in those 3 starts, he pitched 17.2 innings to an ERA of just 3.06. In his last 2 outings, he gave up just 3 runs across 12 innings (2.25 ERA).

The point is, he has pitched well against them, especially of late and especially at home where he has two straight 7 inning performances with 3 combined runs between them. Let’s take a look at his numbers vs each of the Mets hitters.

With a few exceptions, he has pitched really well against this lineup. Of course, we saw Wheeler dominate them across 7 scoreless innings. Sanchez could pitch just as well, and it won’t mean anything.

The bats are going to have to do more against Luis Severino than they did against the Mets bullpen yesterday if they are going to even up the series. Check out the below link to see how they have hit against Severino in the past.
