Justin Verlander… no hitter through 6 in Toronto.

Man, to think.... people thought this guy was washed up a few years ago.
He not only made the adjustments necessary to stay relevant in the league, but he has put himself back in the elite echelon of pitchers in the Majors with quality outings one after another.
And today, he may make some history yet again.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Verlander continues his no hitter, now through 7 full innings of play.
93 pitches thrown, so will be interesting to see how far his manager will let him go. I would imagine the PC would be irrelevant if Verlander is still comfortable out there.

Fantastic pitching line:
7IP, 0 R, 0ER, 0 H, 1 BB, 10 K

rendon is just unstoppable right now

8 no hit innings for Verlander...in a 0-0 game.

106 pitches.

Verlander continues to deal.
Game is still scoreless, but the veteran now has a no-hitter through 8...and has punched out 13 Blue Jays in the process

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

A's break through with 3 runs in the 7th. Shaping up to be a disaster of a weekend for the Indians.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

A's finally break through after NY had the nerve to send up someone named Ryan Dull to the mound in a scoreless game.

Oakland up 3-0 now in the 7th.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Toro goes oppo! 2-0 Astros! Making my town proud. Now Verlander can truly go for the no no.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Tampa Bay continues to keep Cleveland in check.
4-1 with the Rays coming to bat in the bottom half of the 7th.

If this score holds, the A's win in NY, and Min beats the Tigers (currently ahead 6-2), the Indians will find themselves OUT of their wild card positions, with the A's n Rays holding them...and Cleveland will also find itself 5.5 games behind the Twins in the Central.

Those are the sorts of things that happen if brooms are broken out....

Verlander has thrown a no hitter in Toronto already, right?

Verlander has thrown a no hitter in Toronto already, right?

Yep in 2011.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

DJ Carassco enters the game for the Indians to nice standing ovation not only from the mixed TB/Cle crowd, but by players in both dug outs as well.
Classy.

Now.....the Rays can go about trying to get a couple runs off him.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Drury grounds out, 2 to go.

McGuire K's, 1 to go.

Bichette the last man standing. Drama.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Has there been a pitcher that no hit one team twice in their own stadium?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

14 Ks for Verlander...now just needs to get Bo Bichette to finish off his masterpiece

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Bichette fittingly grounds out to Toro to end it. JV did it!

 

[John Price]

Grounded, to first, it's over!

A no hitter!

 

[rangerssharks414]

There it is! Congrats, Justin!

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Done. Deal.

Justin Verlander
9 IP, 0R, 0H, 1 BB, 14 K's, 120 pitches thrown

Outstanding. Congrats.

Houston is once again a serious threat in the chase for another World Series.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Grounded, to first, it's over!

A no hitter!

The ground ball was to third...

A's finally break through after NY had the nerve to send up someone named Ryan Dull to the mound in a scoreless game.

Oakland up 3-0 now in the 7th.

"Someone named Ryan Dull"

Guy has been in the league for 5 years.

The ground ball was to third...

The ball was thrown to first.
