Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez extended his scoreless innings streak to 44 and two-thirds innings on Wednesday, setting the Philadelphia Phillies franchise record, according to ESPN.
The previous record had been held by Grover Cleveland Alexander, a Hall of Fame pitcher whose career dates back to the early 20th century. Sanchez passed Alexander's mark in the game played May 28, 2026.
The streak places Sanchez among the most dominant stretches of pitching in the franchise's long history. The Phillies have been a major league franchise since 1883, making Alexander's record one that had stood for decades before Sanchez surpassed it this week.
No further details about the specific game, the opposing team, or the final outcome were immediately available, but the record-setting performance continued what has been a sustained run of elite pitching from Sanchez during the 2026 season.
