Sanchez pitches MLB's first no-hitter since '04

MIAMI (AP) - In this year of sensational rookies, Anibal Sanchez came up with the greatest performance yet - a no-hitter in his 13th career start.

Sanchez ended the longest no-hit gap in major league history Wednesday night, benefiting from three defensive gems by teammates to lead the Florida Marlins over the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0.

"This is the best moment of my life," the 22-year-old Venezuelan said.

One of four rookies in the Marlins' rotation, Sanchez (7-2) walked four and pitched around an error. He struck out six and threw 103 pitches.

2. Funny when I saw SportsCenter they lead with Randy Johnson's

perfect game from two years ago. Seriously they showed THAT footage in the intro.

3. That's a real shame.

EDITED for typing.

With all respect to Johnson, who is a great pitcher and ought to be be in the HoF after he retires, that's terrible.

Sanchez pitched a no-hitter last night, not Johnson. Sanchez may become a great pitcher or this may be highlight of a brief career. Give the man his fifteen minutes already. He deserves it.

4. BTW Sanchez went to the Marlins as part of the Beckett trade with Boston
