FACTS/FLUKES: Sanchez, Parker, Smoak, Loney, Nava

Anibal looks like an ace ... We knew Aníbal Sánchez (RHP, DET) was good, but 17 Ks-in-one-game good? That was a bit of a surprise. However, the former Marlin did post a 4.4 Cmd in the 2H of 2012, and has been able to maintain that level of dominance thus far in 2013. Is it too early to call this a breakout?
