What A Crazy Day In The Major Leagues!
Ubaldo Jimenez has thrown the first No-Hitter in the history of the Colorado Rockies!
Jimenez recorded the No-Hitter on the road at Turner Field in Atlanta!
During a No Hitter, It always seems like there is a Spectacular Defensive play to seal the No Hit Bid. Remember that spectacular catch Dewayne Wise made to Preserve Mark Buehrle's Perfect Game Bid?
Dexter Fowler made a sensational catch in Left Center Field in the Seventh Inning to Preserve The No Hitter. You Could See Jimenez mouth "Wow!" Wow Indeed, Ubaldo! Wow!
But Wait! There's More!
The Mets and Cardinals played in front of a National Television Audience Tonight. The Game went long into the night. For the first Eighteen Innings, the game remained a 0-0 Scoreless Tie!
In The Eighteenth inning, Tony La Russa had pinch hitters Felipe Lopez and Joe Mather pitch! He then moved pitcher Kyle Lohse into the outfield!
The Mets took a one-run lead on Jeff Francoeur's sacrifice fly off Joe Mather, who had walked two batters and hit another to load the bases. But Mather escaped from that jam, and Yadier Molina tied the game on a single to right off Francisco Rodriguez, who blew his first save opportunity of the season.
Jose Reyes, (0-7 on the night, who reached base on a walk from Joe Mather), scored on a sacrafice fly to right to score the 2nd run of the game, in the 20th Inning!
UnBelievable!!!!!
