The struggle is real.
After Anibal Sanchez threw six no-hit innings for the Tigers on Saturday night, it seemed baseball fans might witness history in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at Fenway Park.
The prospect of that kind of history was definitely not making Red Sox fans happy. (At all.)
Stephen Drew's amazing catch to end the eighth maybe gave some fans a glimmer of hope that the no-hitter would never come to pass, that this was a precursor to some dramatic walkoff win.
Besides, there'd been only TWO postseason no-hitters in baseball history, and this game had already had plenty of oddities.
