It was his first start of the spring, but Cristopher Sánchez already looked like himself on Saturday in Dunedin.

It’s good news for the Phillies, but moreso for his other team. Because their games next week will matter.

In his first and last outing before the World Baseball Classic, Sánchez struck out four Blue Jays in two innings. He allowed two hits, one of them a swinging bunt.
