The Mets had never had a no-hitter. Former Twin, Johan Santana had never had one either. That ended last night as Johan became the second ex-Twin to pitch a no=hitter this season. (Phil Humber had a perfect game for the White Sox April 21st.)
Santana missed last season because of shoulder surgery. He was on a strict pitch count because of his recovery, but the manager left him throw 134 pitches (a career high) to give him his shot at history.
There is a bit of a controversy, though. Carlos Beltran hit a scorcher down the third-base line in the sixth inning. The ump ruled it foul. Replay showed that it hit the chalk line. The umpire did not comment after the game.
I'm not giving the Twins loss last night it's own headline. Their three game win-streak came to a screeching halt last night as Cleveland clubbed them 7-1.
