Sanchez Streaks – May 28th, 2026
Cristopher Sanchez, SP, PHI
Sanchez tossed 7.0 scoreless innings, extending his scoreless innings streak to 44.2, which is the 7th longest streak in the majors since 1920. He hasn’t given up a run since April 30th, which spans five starts. During the five outings, Sanchez has racked up 45 strikeouts against three walks and has dropped his ERA to 1.47, which leads the league. The southpaw has been great throughout the whole of the 2026 season, with the recent stretch pushing it to fantastic. He’s given up some hard contact (44.0% Hard-Hit%, 21st percentile), but his command and swing and miss ability have been top-notch. Sanchez’s 1.82 BB/9 ranks 7th in the majors, while his 37.0% Chase% and 33.3% Whiff% rank in the 95th and 93rd percentile, respectively.
Otto Lopez, SS, MIA
Lopez went 4 for 4 with four singles, two stolen bases, and an RBI in Toronto on Wednesday. The 27-year-old is enjoying a breakout campaign and has his average up to .342 on the season, which leads the majors. Lopez flashed potential in his first two big league seasons, hitting .270 across 434 PAs in 2024 and popping 15 homers and stealing 15 bases across 594 PAs in 2025. However, he has turned a corner so far in 2026. Lopez has just four home runs, but he has swiped 10 bags and owns a 138 wRC+. Despite a lowly 3.8% BB%, he has displayed a solid approach at the plate with a 15.4% K% and 20.8% Whiff%. With the lack of power, pitchers appear not to be afraid to challenge Lopez, but with a 32.2% Squared-Up%, he has been happily pounding base hits all around the ballpark.
Dustin May, SP, STL
May took a no-hitter into the 8th inning, but ended up being the tough luck loser in a 2-1 game in Milwaukee. He gave up a double and a single to start the 8th before being removed from the contest. He ultimately ended his day giving up two runs (1ER), on two hits, no walks, and nine strikeouts. May used less of his four-seamer (23.0%), opting to rely on his cutter (33%) and sweeper (23%). Entering the contest, those percentages were 25.7%, 22.7%, and 18.8%, respectively. The switch-up in pitch-mix was successful, but was it just a one-off, or is it something the struggling 28-year-old can build on?
Julio Rodriguez, OF, SEA
Rodriguez went 1 for 5 with a three-run homer, his 10th of the campaign. He has now hit two homers amidst a four-game hitting streak as his bat has thawed out a bit after a rough spring. Rodriguez is now slashing .258/.317/.437 with a 118 wRC+, not exactly what you want to see from the star 25-year-old, but considering he was hitting .200 on April 16th, it’s quite encouraging. He is hitting .289 with eight homers and a 139 wRC+ since that date.
Gavin Williams, SP, CLE
Williams gave up one run on three hits and two walks while striking out four across 7.0 innings en route to his 8th win of the season. Through 12 starts, Williams owns a 3.07 ERA and 3.03 xFIP, and his eight wins rank 2nd in the majors. Despite giving up career-high marks in HardHit% (48.8%), Avg Exit Velo (91.8 mph), and Barrel% (13.4%), the 26-year-old has found success due to his career-high 10.38 K/9 and career-low 2.83 BB/9. Williams owns a 35.1% Chase% (87th percentile) and 31.1% Whiff% (88th percentile). The contrast in the batted ball and plate discipline metrics has resulted in a 4.23 xERA that is almost identical to his career mark of 4.24.
