Tonight's one-hitter was the fourth of Sanchez's career. Together with his no-hitter, he now has five CG w/one-or-fewer hits. #tigers

Sanchez is one of 18 pitchers to post five-or-more games with one-hit-or-less since at least 1916. #tigers
 
May 25 in Tigers and mlb history:

1906 - Martin Dihigo is born in Matanzas, Cuba. Over the course of his career, Dihigo will make seamless transitions between all nine positions and play in several countries. As a hitter he will lead the Negro Leagues in home runs in 1926 and 1935; as a pitcher he will win more than 300 games and defeat Satchel Paige while touring Cuba. He will be elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1977, becoming the only player in history to be inducted to the American, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican and Venezuelan Halls of Fame. He will later add yet another honor as one of the inaugural inductees in the Latin American Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010.

1922 - After being thrown out at second base trying to stretch a single, New York's Babe Ruth throws dirt in the face of umpire George Hildebrand and then goes after a fan. Ruth is ejected, and eventually fined $500 and suspended one game by American League president Ban Johnson.

1937 - Tiger catcher/manager Mickey Cochrane is beaned in the head by a pitch from New York’s Bump Hadley. Cochrane is unconscious for seven days and nearly days as a result. The future Hall of Famer never plays another game in the big leagues, though he returns to manage Detroit the next season.

1975 - Mickey Lolich wins his 200th game for the Tigers, becoming just the third pitcher to win that many for Detroit. In a rain-shortened game in Chicago, Lolich beats the White Sox, 4-1 with seven innings of work. The lefty will win 207 games for the Tigers, third all-time behind Hooks Dauss and George Mullin.
