In 1993, Chris Bosio no-hits the Red Sox. After two walks and a double-play in the first, he retired the final 26 batters, in odd symmetry to Holman’s missed no-hitter. A stellar play by Omar Vizquel got the final out.
Yesterday in Ex-Mariners’ history, Carlos Silva has his third straight great outing. W, 6 innings, 2 hits, one run (earned), 2 BB, 4 K. 0.95 ERA after 19.0 innings for the season.
Yesterday in current Mariners’ history, Felix Hernandez proves one more time that he is a stud of the first order. Meanwhile, Milton is put out to pasture again.
Does it really count that you’re a stud when you’re pitching against the Orioles? I think I could beat them, and I’ve never played a real baseball game in my life.
2 walks, 4 K in six innings isn’t quite stellar. Those were his first two walks of the season, too. Apres moi, le deluge, I can hear them saying. And just wait until the HR start.
You know who did turn in a studly performance yesterday? Roy Halladay, Denver native and new terror of the NL. A complete game shutout, 7 K, 1 BB. Okay, maybe 7 K in 9 innings isn’t that impressive for him, but he’s 4-0, 0.88 ERA, 0.82 WHIP in four starts. Not bad for someone who’s going to be 33 soon.
Here’s hoping that Ubaldo Jimenez comes up with his fourth win today.
10 rbi from Bradley thus far in a not-quite-full-time role. Not bad. (How many does the leading Cubbie have?) But Guti has really got it going on…
