Tonight, the FOURTH (but really, it should be the fifth) no hitter in the 2010 MLB season was tossed by Edwin Jackson of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who went the distance against the Tampa Bay Rays but walked 8 batters along the way. This marks the 3rd time that the Rays have been no hit in 140 games. That's pretty ridiculous! Jackson needed 149 pitches, that's right, 149 pitches to get it done. Pretty crazy night at Tropicana Field. Still though, it is not a good feeling to see your team get no-hit for the 3rd time in less than a year.
Well, after his 11 hour 5 minute marathon, John Isner expectedly crashed out at Wimbledon in second round action today. Seriously, how do you play 4 straight days of tennis at one of the world's premier tournament totalling more than 12 and a half hours and not get tired. Still though, Isner's name will go down in the history books for sure and people will be talking about his first rounder at 2010 Wimby for a LONG time to come!
Halladay shut down the Blue Jays today over 7 scoreless innings. His Phillies, who were the VISITORS in this game IN Philadelphia (you can thank the G20), broke out the bats to smash up Jesse Litsch and the bullpen 9-0. Halladay's performance, let's be honest, is not surprising. I don't mind losing to him but let's hope Toronto captures the last 2 games of this series!
