Jimenez Throws Rockies’ First No-Hitter

Written by Jonathan on April 18, 2010 – 9:59 am

If you have to sit through a loss for your team, there might as well be something worth cheering for.  Last night, Ubaldo Jimenez threw the first no-hitter in Rockies franchise history.  It wasn’t the prettiest no-no ever with Jimenez only recording seven strikeouts and walking six, but there were few plays that came close to breaking up the hitless streak.  A seventh inning diving catch by Dexter Fowler to rob Troy Glaus of a hit to left center was the only questionable ball in play.

That leaves three franchises in Major League Baseball without a no-hitter on record.  The Rays, the Padres and (insert joke of choice here)…..the Mets.  Here’s hoping that Jurrjens can spring back to for today after his rough outing last week.

    It's never fun to lose, but it's always interesting to see a no-no play out. At least the Bravos bounced back today and pulled off a 9th inning win.
