Cristopher Sanchez was “the best” on opening day

Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sanchez met with car dealer Gary Barbera and the Barbera Bear after leading the team to a victory on opening day.

Sanchez has been driving a Barbera Jeep Wagoneer since October.

After striking out 10 and allowing no earned runs in the win over the Texas Rangers at Citizens Bank Park, Sanchez threw a few pitches to the Bear, autographed a jersey and some baseballs and spoke with some Barbera employees.

Sanchez will pitch again on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. ••
