Blue Jays' Aaron Sanchez: Stymies Orioles after time off

Sanchez (13-2) dealt six strong innings Wednesday, allowing just one unearned run on five hits and three walks, earning the win. He struck out two.

Analysis:

Sanchez was pitching on 10 days rest, as the Blue Jays have been trying to limit their talented young right-hander's innings by skipping starts. While Sanchez was solid in his return, he did walk three batters and needed a season-high 112 pitches to get through six innings, in a way undoing some of the benefit gained from skipping a start. While he's been brilliant all season and now has a 2.88 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, the Blue Jays' limiting of Sanchez's innings could put a serious damper on his fantasy value as we head into the final month of the regular season.
