Cristopher Sanchez, rocking an absolutely dominant 12-4 record and a filthy 2.71 ERA, is set to close out the Philadelphia Phillies’ three-game series against the New York Yankees today, July 26. This isn’t just another Sunday game, folks, it’s the series decider at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, kicking off at 7:20 p.m. You know when an ace like Sanchez takes the mound, it’s always must-watch baseball.
Pitching Duel: Ace vs. Arm
Today’s pitching matchup is a stark contrast, and that’s what makes it so exciting. For the Phillies, it’s their left-handed phenom, Cristopher Sanchez, who’s been absolutely lights out all season. A 12-4 record with a 2.71 ERA? That’s the kind of performance that has everyone talking. He’s been a true stopper for this team, and the Yankees are going to have their hands full trying to get anything going against him.
On the flip side, the New York Yankees are sending left-hander Ryan Weathers to the hill. His season hasn’t quite matched Sanchez’s, coming into this game with a 3-7 record and a 4.40 ERA. The Phillies’ lineup will certainly be looking to capitalize on that difference and put some runs on the board early. This is a game where the pitching battle is going to define everything.
How to Catch the Action Today (and Beyond)
If you’re looking to catch Sanchez carve up the Yankees today, you better know where to look. This game is going to be broadcast exclusively on NBC and Peacock. So, yeah, you’ll need that Peacock subscription to tune in, and those plans that include live sports start at $10.99 per month. For those who prefer to listen, you can always catch the radio call on 94WIP and WDEL 101.7 FM/1150 AM.
And hey, if you’re all about streaming, make sure you’re aware of the Phillies’ schedule moving forward. They’ve got another Peacock exclusive coming up on September 6, when they face the Atlanta Braves at 3 p.m. Keep an eye out for other streaming opportunities too, because you’ll need a subscription for Apple TV+ (which costs $12.99 per month) if they have games there later in the season. While there are no August games scheduled for Apple TV+ and September’s schedule hasn’t dropped, it’s good to be prepared.
