Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez outperformed Milwaukee Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski in May, earning the National League Pitcher of the Month award by going 4-0 with 45 strikeouts and no earned runs over 39 innings. Sanchez currently boasts the longest active scoreless streak in MLB at 44 2/3 innings and is approaching Orel Hershiser’s record of 59 innings. Former GM Matt Klentak described Sanchez as a “ball of clay,” emphasizing his potential for improvement. As he vies for his first Cy Young award, Sanchez faces competition from Misiorowski and Shohei Ohtani.
