Clay Buchholz Throws No No

In just his second career start Clay Buchholz has done something Curt Schilling still hasn't done in his career. He threw a no hitter. The unfortunate team was the Baltimore Orioles. The Boston Red Sox won 10 to 0 no thanks to a stellar performance from their top pitching prospect who had just been called up from AAA Pawtucket days earlier when teams were able to expand their rosters. Using an assortment of fastballs, change ups, and curve balls Buchholz struck out 9 and walked 3. Buchholz became the third pitcher since 1900 to throw a no-hitter in his first or second major league start. Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona summed up Clay Buchholz's future with the Red Sox the best when he said, "There's no going back to Triple-A." Welcome to the big leagues kid!

Rangers Score 30 Runs......30

The Baltimore Orioles were leading the game 3-0 entering the top of the 4th inning. That's when the slaughter started. This was only the 9th time in Major League Baseball history that team scored 30 or more runs in a game. The feat hadn't been accomplished since the Chicago Colts set the major league mark in a 36-7 win over Louisville in a National League game on June 28, 1897. Ramon Vazquez and Jardo Saltalamacchia both had two homers and 7 RBIs. Travis Metcalf and Marlon Byrd both hit grand slams. The Rangers are the first team with four players with four RBIs since the Phillies did it on May 17, 1979. Unfortunately for the Orioles, it's a double header tonight. Good luck Orioles, you're going to need it.
