Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Woeful in first career start

Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals after allowing four runs on three hits and a walk across one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

Sanchez was recalled to make the first start of his big-league career, but he struggled mightily and couldn't even escape the first inning. The southpaw has made five appearances for the Phillies on the season and the results haven't been encouraging, as he's posted an 8.22 ERA and 2.35 WHIP through 7.2 innings. He's expected to be returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
