Aníbal Sánchez revived his career with a solid season in Atlanta in 2018, and the veteran righty parlayed that success into a 2-year/$19M deal with the Washington Nationals and then helped his new team win a World Series in the first year of that contract.
Through his first three starts of the second year of the deal, however, Sánchez was having a tough time of things, so he was looking to bounce back as he went up against the Braves.
“It’s frustrating when you’re working hard and the results are not there,” the 36-year-old, 15-year veteran told reporters after his third loss in three starts on August 12th.
