Brandon Morrow threw 8.2 no-hit innings. The Jays would win 1-0. It is likely the best pitching performance I ever watched.
It was a fantastic start; Morrow struck out 17 and walked just 2. He faced four batters above the minimum. From the recap, his 100 Game Score tied for the fourth-best game score since the lively ball era started in 1920. The guys with better game scores? Kerry Wood , Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax . Pretty good company.
The no-hitter almost ended in the second of the 9th inning; Rays Jason Bartlett he a fly ball to the wall in center field, and Vernon Wells made a terrific catch. If there wasn’t a no-hitter, I was sure that Vernon would have played it off the wall. Vernon ended up with a dislocated toe but would miss just one game. With 17 strikeouts, our defence didn’t need to make many great plays, but Vernon’s was as good a catch as you’ll see.
