What happened: Cristopher Sánchez tossed six more scoreless innings, pushing his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 50.2 frames overall. The left-hander has not allowed an earned run across his recent run of starts, a stretch that has drawn league-wide attention.
Why it matters: The streak is among the longest single-season scoreless runs in modern history, surpassing the 47 innings Sánchez built during a scoreless May en route to passing Bob Gibson's 1968 mark. A run of this length anchors a rotation and reshapes the race for in-season pitching honors.
By the numbers: 50.2 consecutive scoreless innings overall, including six scoreless on the day. The streak passed Bob Gibson's 47 innings from 1968 to rank as the fifth-longest single-season scoreless innings streak.
What to watch: Watch whether Sánchez can carry the form into his next outing and how far the streak ultimately extends before it ends.
