Sánchez sent out an emphatic scream when he struck out Rob Refsnyder on his textbook changeup, a yell that signaled from the naked eye his night was over. Masterful for eight innings, Sánchez had 10 strikeouts to zero walks at that point.

As recently as two years ago, Cristopher Sánchez was a pitcher in transition, earning some major league time yet frequently shuttling between the Phillies and their Triple-A affiliate in the Lehigh Valley.

When the Phillies won on a catcher’s interference call in the 10th inning Monday night, it marked only the second known time that a major league game was decided by that rule. Leave it to Bryce Harper to recreate the other one.
