In the fourth and final game of a series against the San Francisco Giants on July 29, 2010 at AT&T Park, Sanchez was virtually unhittable for the Florida Marlins. In fact, the Giants managed just a single hit off the right-hander in a 5-0 victory for the Marlins.
Through four innings, Sánchez was perfect. To that point, he had struck out seven, including the side in the bottom of the fourth inning.
