Tigers 6, Twins 0. [Boxscore]

Summary: Sanchez pitches an absolute beauty!

Pitching: Sanchez threw a gorgeous game [video], and it's a real pity he lost the no-hitter. At least it was Joe Mauer, a heck of a hitter in his own right, who broke it up. In the end, credit Sanchez with a complete game, 1 hit and 3 walks allowed, and 12 K's. His record goes to 5-4, 2.38 - with a WHIP of 1.12 and 80 punchouts in 64.1 innings.

Anyone think the Tigers overpaid him with the new contract this past off-season? I don't. He's earned every cent of it so far.

Offense: Who needed offense with the way Sanchez pitched? Irregardless, the Cats provided some nice sparks, collecting 11 hits and 3 walks, striking out just 6 times (3 of which belonged to Avila. Poor dude. He just can't get going.

)

Leading the charge was Andy Dirks, who went 3-5 (all singles), but the big tamale on the batting side was (hard as it is to believe...) the donkelly, who went 1-4 with a 2-run, 357-foot tater (2) to right. Nice shot!

This game is definitely one to remember. Attaboy, Anibal!

Next game: Twins (18-27, 9-14 away) @ Tigers (27-19, 15-7 home), 4:08 Eastern. TV: FS-D, MLBN. Radio: 97.1 The Ticket.

Projected starters: Walters (first game played in MLB this year) vs Fister (5-1, 3.62).
