At first when I read that headline I had thought Doug Davis accomplished the pitcher's pinnacle. It turned out to be Jon Lester who threw the 18th no-hitter in Boston's franchise history, and the first time since 1956. Only a couple of years ago Lester's 2006 season ended early when he was diagnosed with lymphoma. He would later rebound!
The BoSox blanked the KC Royals 7-0 tonight at home.
John Varitek has one more feat to add to his arsonal as the leagues best catcher....
He is the first MLB pitcher to catch for 4 seperate pitchers' no-hitter.
Josh Beckett called it "Divine intervention".....hmmm, I wouldn't go that far.
I hate the Sox, but you have to give credit where credit is due!
The Brewers played a team at their peak, that is evident. For the Brewers to put up as many runs as they did, says a lot. Right now, there is not a team in baseball that can beat the Red Sox.....at home. On the road, that's a different story!
Despite Lester being a Red Sock, hats off to this young hurler.
In other news....The Brewers showed the entire league that they are soft by keeping Ned Yost as Manager. Apparently they have to lose back to back to back series' on the road before they even begin to consider it.
