JOINS FELLER WITH FIVE LOW-HIT GAMES IN FIRST 155: Sanchez fired a one-hitter in his outing on May 24th against the Minnesota Twins, marking the fourth one-hitter of his major league career to go along with his no-hitter on September 6, 2006 versus Arizona. The outing was the 155th of his career and he joined Bob Feller as one of just two pitchers since at least 1916 to record five complete games allowing one hit-or-fewer in the first 155 games of their major league career. Feller also posted one no-hitter and four one-hitters during that span, recording his fifth with a one-hitter in the 139th game of his career on July 12, 1940 at Shibe Park against the Philadelphia Athletics. JUST ONE HIT, BUT A DOZEN STRIKEOUTS: Sanchez allowed one hit in his outing on May 24th against the Minnesota Twins and recorded 12 strikeouts. The performance marked just the fourth time since at least 1916 that a Tigers pitcher has gone the distance and allowed one hit-or-fewer while recording at least 12 strikeouts.

HISTORIC PERFORMANCE VERSUS ATLANTA: Sanchez recorded 17 strikeouts over eight shutout innings in his outing on April 26 against the Atlanta Braves, establishing the franchise record for strikeouts in a single game.

Lolich also recorded 16 strikeouts over nine innings on June 9, 1969 against the Seattle Pilots at Tiger Stadium in a game that went 10 innings. MATCHED MODERN MARK FOR STRIKEOUTS IN EIGHT INNINGS: Sanchez’s 17 strikeouts on April 26 against the Braves matched the record for the most strikeouts by a pitcher in eight innings or less since 1900. Sanchez joined Minnesota’s Johan Santana on August 19, 2007 against Texas, Arizona’s Randy Johnson on June 30, 1999 at Cincinnati and Seattle’s Randy Johnson on September 27, 1992 at Texas as the only pitchers in the modern era to record 17 strikeouts in eight innings.
