Jesus Sanchez News: Provides only runs in victory

Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in a 2-0 win over St. Louis on Wednesday.

Sanchez mashed a 439-foot, two-run shot off Miles Mikolas in the third inning. That proved to be the difference maker, as neither team managed to score at any point during the rest of the game. Sanchez entered the All-Star break in a 23-game homerless drought, but he's now gone deep three times through his first 11 contests of the second half. He's up to 10 home runs on the year after swatting a career-high 18 across 149 regular-season contests last year.
