Phillies Ace Sánchez Calls Outing 'Crap' After Worst Start

Philadelphia Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez labeled his recent performance against the Kansas City Royals as 'crap' after surrendering a career-worst nine earned runs in just 3.1 innings.

Sánchez struggled immensely, surrendering three of Kansas City's four home runs on his signature changeup. He was unable to pinpoint a specific reason for the collapse, stating, 'Maybe it wasn't doing as it always does.'

The team's defense, including a wild throw by Trea Turner in the first inning, compounded the issue. While manager Don Mattingly acknowledged the defensive lapses, he remains unconcerned about Sánchez's long-term outlook despite the rocky road trip. catcross.biz
