Washington Nationals 4-3 over San Diego Padres; rubber match high noon Sunday

With a loss in his start against the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field, Aníbal Sánchez, 38, fell to (0-5) in five outings since he made his 2022 debut back on July 14th.

In 25 innings pitched so far in his 16th big league season, Sánchez had a 7.56 ERA, 7.28 FIP, 11 walks, 18 Ks, and a .286/.360/.561 line against. It isn’t the start he wanted after a cervical nerve impingement in his neck delayed the start of his 2022 campaign.

“Right now, I feel like I’m getting better in every outing,” Sánchez said, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman after facing the Cubbies.
