Tigers should ride with Sanchez till at least the 9th even if they are able to add to this three run lead.
I don't know why they pulled him and put in Joba. Really regret not laying off some at +850 to lock in a win. Likely Tigers feel the same way about pulling Sanchez.
Brad Ausmus can't manage a game. This is the series right here and any team in baseball on the road wants to grab one out of the first two games which holds true even more for a five game series.

Sanchez should have at least pitched the 8th and if he got out of it quickly I'd roll him out for the 9th too. The only positive that can come out of this is if the Tigers do win they can play Sanchez again on Sunday but I wouldn't have rolled the dice here and had faith you wouldn't need him then with Price going out there for game 3.
