Nationals’ Aaron Sanchez doesn’t last long versus Rockies; DFA’d after start

Going up against Colorado in his third start after getting called up from Triple-A Rochester in late April, Aaron Sanchez gave up six hits, two walks, and seven runs, six earned, in just 4 13 innings pitched in the Rockies’ home, and the veteran right-hander struggled in his next three starts as well, giving up 21 hits, five walks, and nine runs in 14 IP, for a 5.79 ERA, a 6.40 FIP, and a .375/.426/.625 line against over that stretch.

The third of three, however, was actually the 29-year-old righty’s best this season, with Sanchez giving up two runs, seven hits, and two walks in a five-inning, 89-pitch outing against the Brewers on the road in Milwaukee’s American Family Field.
