Cristopher Sanchez breaks 115-year-old Phillies record in win

Another game, another zero in the runs against column for Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sanchez.

Sanchez was excellent in the Phillies 3-0 victory over the Padres. He fired seven shutout innings, allowing only six hits while striking out nine batters. 

That performance pushed his scoreless streak to 44.2 innings, shattering the previous record of 41 innings held by Pete Alexander in 1911.

That performance also moved Sanchez into select company in major league history. He joined Dodgers legend Orel Hershiser (September 1988) as the only pitchers to have a scoreless month where they threw over 30 innings.
