Pitching Matchup Breakdown
PHI — Cristopher Sánchez (LHP)
Record: 4–4 ERA: 3.76 WHIP: 1.28 K/BB: 62/20 Last 3 Starts: 3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP
Profile: Sánchez relies on a heavy sinker/changeup combination that generates ground balls and soft contact. When his command is sharp, he can neutralize RH hitters. When it’s not, he becomes vulnerable to big innings.
Keys to Success:
Keep changeup down vs. Contreras and Hoskins
Avoid middle‑in sinkers to Yelich
Induce early‑count grounders to limit pitch count
MIL — Tyler Harrison (RHP)
Record: 6–2 ERA: 3.22 WHIP: 1.14 K/BB: 78/23 Last 3 Starts: 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP
Profile: Harrison has emerged as one of Milwaukee’s most reliable arms. His mid‑90s fastball, sharp slider, and improving changeup give him a strong three‑pitch mix. He’s been excellent at home.
Keys to Success:
Elevate fastball vs. Schwarber
Use slider early to neutralize Harper
Attack bottom of the order aggressively
Key Player Matchups

Harper handles velocity well

Milwaukee’s late‑inning arms are elite at limiting LH power
4. Rhys Hoskins (MIL) vs. Sánchez’s Sinker
