PHILADELPHIA — Cristopher Sánchez pitched his second complete game of the season, and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 5-1 on Saturday night. Sánchez faced two batters over the minimum, allowing two hits. The only blemish in his outing was a solo homer by Alex Call to lead off the fourth inning. Call hit a 1-1 slider into the front row seats in right-center field. Sánchez struck out four and did not issue a walk as he picked up his ninth win of the season after losing four of his previous five decisions. The Phillies won their fourth straight.
