Likable Lefties

As I posted earlier, the Jonathan Sanchez vs. Aaron Laffey match up in Cleveland turned out to be one of the best duels of the night. Their linescores:

JS: 7.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K
AL: 6.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

Sanchez pitched a bit longer and a bit better. He dominated in strikeouts and was more effective with his pitches, throwing 70 strikes in 114 pitches to Laffey's 60 strikes in 108 pitches.

Fantasy Impact: Both of these guys deserve to get fantasy starts at this time. Sanchez' ability to pitch into the 8th earned him his seventh win as the Giants escape 3-2. Laffey earned a no decision.
