Buster Posey's hitting streak ended, but he certainly was not the only guy in the Giants' lineup who went oh-fer on Thursday.

One day after the Giants collected 17 hits, they managed just one—Pablo Sandoval's bloop single in the fifth inning. That's because Anibal Sanchez was on hisgame, doing his best work since he no-hit the Diamondbacks in 2006.

The Marlins beat the Giants 5-0, and the teams ended the series with two wins apiece.

Sanchez faced two batters over the minimum, so Posey—the cleanup hitter—had just three at-bats. He struck out twice and grounded into a double play.

The Giants went 16-5 in Posey's 21-game streak, during which he hit .440.

Anibal Sanchez seems back to his old dominant form -- and it sure helps to have a healthy shoulder again. Sanchez pitched a one-hitter for his first shutout since a no-hitter as a rookie in September 2006, and Jorge Cantu played his final game for Florida in the Marlins' 5-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.
