Giants starter Jonathan Sanchez pitched a no-hitter tonight in an 8-0 win over the San Diego Padres at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Sanchez came within five outs of a perfect game when third baseman Juan Uribe booted a one-out Chase Headley grounder in the 8th inning. He nearly lost the no hitter with one out in the 9th when Aaron Rowand had to make a catch while crashing into the center field wall off the bat of Edgar Gonzalez to preserve the no-hitter. Sanchez notched 11 strikeouts while throwing 110 pitches. The no-hitter is the first for the Giants since John Montefusco way back in 1976.
The Giants still trail the Dodgers in the NL West by seven games, who blew open a 6-6 tie tonight with six runs in the 10th inning in Milwaukee, capped by a Matt Kemp grand slam homerun.
