BALTIMORE (AP) — Cristopher Sánchez struck out 11 in six innings, helping the Philadelphia Phillies snap their four-game losing streak with a 5-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.
Sánchez kept the Orioles off the scoreboard despite five walks. Twice, he retired Baltimore's Leody Taveras with the bases loaded to end an inning.
Sánchez (14-4) allowed just two hits after yielding 35 in 21 1/3 innings in July.
Shane Baz (4-10) gave up a run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. He was pulled after a 15-pitch battle with Bryson Stott that ended with an infield single.
The Phillies blew a two-run lead in the seventh Friday night and entered the middle game of this series with only a one-game lead for the final wild card in the National League. The bullpen held on this time, and the offense added four runs in the eighth.
