DETROIT -- The 115th and final pitch from Anibal Sanchez on Wednesday was a 92-mph fastball on the outside corner, freezing Matt Chapman to end the sixth inning and strand a runner. As Sanchez walked to the dugout and received the obligatory handshake from manager Brad Ausmus, a scattering of the crowd at Comerica Park stood up to applaud him for his second straight outing of six innings and one run allowed, and probably for more than that.
"When I was out of the game, I just noticed that today probably could be my last outing as a Tiger at Comerica Park," Sanchez said.
