Blue Jays' Aaron Sanchez: Wins ninth game against Royals

Sanchez (9-1) allowed just one run on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts over eight innings in a win Monday over the Royals.

Analysis:

Sanchez has tightened things up in his four starts since allowing six runs in five innings June 12 against Baltimore. In those four starts, all quality starts, he hasn't allowed more than two runs in a single start and has lasted eight innings twice. He has just 16 strikeouts over 28 innings in that stretch, but more important has been his pinpoint control -- just six walks, a 1.9 BB/9 that has kept the bases clear and his pitch count low so he can go deep into games.
