Availability
Cristopher Sanchez allowed four runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out seven across 6 2/3 innings in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Sanchez gave up more than three runs for the first time in his last eight starts Sunday, exiting the contest with the Phillies down 4-0 in the seventh. The All-Star lefty was taken off the hook by a six-run, ninth-inning rally from the Philly offense, so Sanchez's record held at a stellar 16-4 through 27 starts. Sanchez is currently second in the bigs with 168 1/3 innings pitched and tied for fourth in strikeouts (194) with teammate Jesus Luzardo.

Fantasy Impact
Sanchez earned his MLB-leading 16th win Monday. The All-Star southpaw had plenty of traffic on the bases in this one, but he managed to navigate the waters against the Marlins, surrendering just a single run. Sanchez will carry an excellent 2.51 ERA into a matchup with the Cardinals this weekend.
Cristopher Sanchez fired six shutout innings in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Cardinals, giving up four hits and no walks while striking out seven.
Fantasy Impact
Sanchez certainly deserved a win for his efforts Tuesday night, but the Phillies' bats were unable to generate any offense. Sanchez lowered his season ERA to 2.54 with this performance, and the All-Star lefty has now allowed just two runs while racking up 24 strikeouts across 17 innings here in August. He'll likely return to the mound Monday opposite Miami.

Fantasy Impact

Overall, it was an All-Star-level performance for the southpaw, who now leads the majors with 14 victories. Sanchez will move forward with an excellent 2.61 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 27.9 K%.
