5 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez retired the first 16 batters he faced Wednesday in his first game after a hamstring injury. Sanchez went six innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven on 80 pitches. Backed by 14 runs, he easily got his first win of the season in Washington's 14-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Sanchez is still just 1-6 with a 4.47 ERA but more starts like tonight could return him to fantasy relevance. You'll want to see additional such starts actually happen before jumping on board, however.--Nathaniel Green
