Sanchez OK with error

Jonathan Sanchez pointed to third baseman Juan Uribe and signaled that all was well. No hard feelings, let it go.

Uribe’s error on a grounder by Chase Headley in the eighth inning Friday night in San Francisco, wound up giving the San Diego Padres their only baserunner in Sanchez’s unlikely no-hitter in an 8-0 victory.

“He pitched good. I didn’t feel good because I didn’t make the play,” Uribe said Saturday, noting the ball hit the heel of his hand. “Everybody could see the groundball. I wanted to do something. Everybody said to me, ‘It’s OK, Uribe.’ ”

Uribe thought about the play over and over again once back home.

While Uribe spent his time before Saturday’s game turning his focus to a heated game of dominoes with several teammates, Sanchez was still on a high from his historic night. And he had no plans of scheduling a sit-down with Uribe – saying there was no reason to do so.
