Sanchez pitched the no-hitter using 110 pitches, 11 strike outs and no walks. After the final one, catcher Eli Whiteside came rushing with a hug, followed moments later by all their teammates.

The Giants' left-hander threw the majors' first no-hitter of the season Friday night and came within a whisper of a perfect game. The only runner to reach against him in an 8-0 victory over the San Diego Padres came on an error by third baseman Juan Uribe with one out in the eighth.
