So close. Giants pitcher Jonathan Sanchez came so close to a perfect game.
It's a wonderful story; a Cinderella story. Previously demoted to the bullpen for poor performance, the only reason Sanchez pitched yesterday was because Randy Johnson was on the disabled list.
Make the most of your opportunities. With his dad in the stands, Sanchez threw a no-hitter, striking out 11 Padres batters in the process. If it wasn't for teammate Juan Uribe's error in the 8th inning, he would have had a perfect game. Perfect. So close.
