Cristopher Sánchez was named to the National League All-Star team. The Phillies now have eight representatives heading to Texas for the Midsummer Classic, tying an MLB record.
Five pitchers, Sánchez, Ranger Suárez, Zack Wheeler, Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strahm are on the team, setting a new MLB record for pitchers sent to the All-Star Game from one team.
A strong first half from Sánchez earned him the nod. He finishes the second half with a 7-4 record, a 2.96 ERA and 10 quality starts. He signed a four-year, $22 million extension on June 22 that takes him through 2028 with two club options for 2029 and 2030.
As the Twitter account @FranzkeLA points out, the Phillies had eight All-Stars combined from 2013 to 2019. Eight in one season is an incredible accomplishment for a team that will finish with the best record in baseball to end the first half.
