No-Hitter for Clayton Kershaw!

Well, I slept through most of it (except for a few minutes), but Clayton Kershaw has pitched a no-hitter! The Dodgers' Josh Beckett also pitched a no-hitter less than a month ago. Yay! Also, we're playing well now and have crept back within 4 games of first place. Also, Kershaw had 15 strikeouts and no walks in the no-hitter --- this was one of the all-time great pitching performances!

Josh Beckett Pitches a No-Hitter!

Josh Beckett of the Dodgers has pitched a no-hitter! This was the first no-hitter of 2014 and, more importantly, it was the first no-hitter by a Dodger pitcher (i.e., it was "our" first no-hitter) since Hideo Nomo threw one in Coors Field in 1996. And because today's game was a day game, I got to watch it even with the 5-hour time difference between the UK and Eastern time. Yay!

Josh Beckett was running on fumes for the last couple of batters in the 9th inning. Beckett used to be a much more dominating hurler than he is now. He must have had a couple of low-hit games before (though this is his first no-hitter).
