Aaron Sanchez allowed just one unearned run in six innings after a 10-day sabbatical. ( Patrick Semansky / The Associated Press )BALTIMORE—Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said he was “anxious” to see Aaron Sanchez pitch Wednesday night in his first start since the team imposed a 10-day rest period on their most precious asset. In the end, Gibbons need not worry because in the words of catcher Russell Martin, Sanchez “didn’t skip a beat.” “He was the same guy that pitched his last inning,” Martin added. Sanchez was as effective as ever Wednesday night, allowing one unearned run over six innings to lead the Jays to a 5-3 victory and a key series win over the Baltimore Orioles. Like his manager, Sanchez was eager to get back on the mound after his sabbatical at the team’s spring-training complex in Dunedin, Fla.
