SAN FRANCISCO(AP) -- 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.

Sanchez (8-6) retired his first 13 batters and matched a
career-high with eight strikeouts, winning for the first time in
six starts since a victory at Baltimore on June 22.

"It's my first complete game of the season," said Sanchez, long
plagued by shoulder problems. "I'm more happy because I'm really
healthy. That's what I worked on in the offseason. The other
thing is to help the team, because we're really close. If we do
a good job, we can make the playoffs. That's what we want."

The Marlins traded Cantu to AL West-leading Texas in a deal
finalized after the game. He was replaced on defense by Wes
Helms in the bottom of the eighth.

While ready for a new start and a pennant race out West, Cantu
had mixed emotions.

"It's hard to let go sometimes," he said after saying many of
his goodbyes. "I bonded with these guys."

Mike Stanton hit a pair of RBI doubles, and Ronny Paulino had
two sacrifice flies for Florida.

Giants rookie Buster Posey had his hitting streak snapped at 21
games, one shy of tying Hall of Famer Willie McCovey's San
Francisco rookie record, set in 1959.

Sanchez retired Freddy Sanchez on a liner to left on his 118th
pitch, ending his gem in 2 hours, 7 minutes. He struck out eight
for the fifth time in his career.

It was his third career complete game and second shutout. He
pitched the no-hitter on Sept. 6, 2006, against Arizona. He
tossed his previous complete game on Sept. 16 that year.

Juan Uribe reached on Cantu's throwing error to start the fifth
for the Giants' first runner. Cantu fielded Uribe's two-hopper
but first baseman Gaby Sanchez couldn't hold onto Cantu's throw
after scooping it.

Pablo Sandoval blooped a clean single into shallow left-center
moments later. After that, Aubrey Huff's leadoff walk in the
seventh was San Francisco's only other runner.

Rookie Madison Bumgarner (4-3) had a four-start winning streak
snapped.

Posey, who batted .440 with six homers and 23 RBIs during his
streak, went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and also grounded into
a double play.

"I had fun with it," Posey said. "It would have been something
cool to have. But at the same time, I know who Willie McCovey is
- I didn't know he had the Giants rookie record hitting streak.
... I guess in a way it's kind of nice the attention will go
back to (the team and winning) instead of the streak. After my
first at-bat I tried to slow down a bit and be more patient
because he was throwing so much offspeed stuff."

Florida avoided its first three-game losing streak since June
30-July 3.

San Francisco never threatened against Sanchez a day after the
Giants blew leads of 7-1 and 9-2 before winning 10-9 in the 10th
inning.

The Marlins are in a stretch of 17 straight games since the
All-Star break without an off day, getting their first break
Monday. They first must finish this seven-game West Coast trip
at NL West-leading San Diego this weekend.

Notes: Florida LF Chris Coghlan, who tore the meniscus in his
left knee while delivering a pie in the face to teammate Wes
Helms after an 11-inning win over Atlanta on Sunday, was being
examined Thursday afternoon by Dr. Lewis Yocum. He was then
headed for Miami for an appointment Friday with team physician
Dr. Lee Kaplan. Surgery could be necessary.... Marlins RHP Alex
Sanabia likely will be available out of the bullpen beginning
Saturday at San Diego. ... Giants manager Bruce Bochy plans to
give Posey a break from his catching duties in the next couple
of days, likely starting him at 1B instead. ... San Francisco
has talked about adding an LHP reliever or hitter before
Saturday's trading deadline. Former 20-game winner Dontrelle
Willis, signed to a minor league contract July 15, has begun
throwing to hitters and could be ready soon - so that could
affect the Giants' decision. Willis was designated for
assignment by Arizona earlier this month. "We talked about
both," Bochy said of a hitter and reliever. "I can't say one is
ahead of the other." ... Giants RHP Todd Wellemeyer, on the
disabled list since June 11 with a strained right quadriceps, is
scheduled to pitch again Friday for Triple-A Fresno in a rehab
start. ... The Marlins received two minor league RHPs in the
trade.
