Marlins 8, Nationals 0
MIAMI — Fortified by his mom's pancakes, Anibal Sanchez took a no-hitter into the seventh and struck out a career-high 11 as the Marlins salvaged the series finale. The crowd included Sanchez's mother, Evelia, visiting from Venezuela. "She made me breakfast this morning, so that's why I threw a game like that," Sanchez said. But shouldn't he be cooking on Mother's Day? "I'm supposed to," he said, "but I'm the baby."
