LOS ANGELES - Jonathan Sanchez was a non roster invitee for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2013. After his first few outings, no one thought he would make the rotation. But with injuries to several pitchers and a good ending to his Spring, Sanchez made the Pirates roster, as well as the rotation, taking the number 4 spot. After a dreadful 2012 season, Sanchez looks to rebound and revitalize his career in Pittsburgh.

After Josh Beckett and Jonathan Sanchez pitched a scoreless 1st inning, Gaby Sanchez lead off the 2nd inning with a led off solo home run to put the Pirates up 1-0. No one expected this matchup to be the pitching dual it was, but Jonathan Sanchez was dealing, collecting 8 strikeouts in his 7 innings pitched. In the top of the 5th, Sanchez tried to help his caused, singling to lead off the inning. But Josh Beckett kept the Pirates at bay, and squandered any attempt at runs. But in the 8th inning, Garrett Jones stepped in to pinch hit for Sanchez and blasted a solo home run to put the Pirates up 2-0. Jason Grilli came in for the 9th and struck out Carl Crawford to end the game and collect his 2nd save of the season.

Player of the Game: Jonathan Sanchez
