MLB Playoffs 2019: Updated Schedule, Top Highlights and Stats

In Games 1 and 2 of the National League Championship Series, Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer achieved a feat they recorded six years ago with Detroit.

In 2013, the pair became the first two players to keep the same opponent without a hit in at least five innings, per the Elias Sports Bureau (h/t MLB.com's Andrew Simon).

Sanchez took a no-hit bid into the eighth Friday, while Scherzer did not allow a base knock until the seventh Saturday.

Scherzer's performance marked the fifth time he took a playoff no-hit bid past the fifth inning, which is three more than the next person on the list, per MLB's Sarah Langs:
