The Detroit Tigers Can’t Hit Matt Garza

[ad#Betus-250]Monday was an exciting night for Tampa Bay Ray pitcher Matt Garza. The right handed thrower made team history by pitching a no hitter. It was also his first no hitter. Garza’s terrific night came against the Detroit Tigers who the Rays defeated by a score of 5-0. The Tampa Bay Rays have a record of 60 wins and 38 losses for the 2010 season, extending their push for the post season. They are only a few games behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East. There is a 3 game gap between the two teams. The Rays are ahead of Boston for the Wild Card by 5.5 games.

Garza, with a 2010 season record of 11-5, managed to sit six batters down via strike outs. The only base runner he allowed was a walk. This walk would ruin his attempt at pitching a perfect game which would have been the 3rd of the season. He would however, manage to throw the 5th no hitter of the MLB season. The Rays were the recipients of two of those no-hitter efforts.

Ramon Santiago of the Detroit Tigers pitched an excellent game as well up until the 6th inning. It was here that Matt Joyce ruined his night courtesy of a Grand Slam.
