Phillies Notebook: Sunday start will cap emotional week for new dad Cristopher Sanchez
The birth timed out perfectly for the team’s bye week. He’ll cap his son’s first week on earth on the mound, manager Rob Thomson heeding Sanchez’s home and road splits in plotting his rotation. Sanchez has a 2.21 ERA in 17 starts at the Bank and a 5.02 ERA in 14 away starts. Opponents are hitting .222 off him at home and .307 away.
