From the perfect to the untidy, from Miami Gardens to the 209, from Ubaldo to Dallas and the clear blue they've come.
They've been shot from the arms of superstars, slung from the imaginations of nobodies. And one was lost, too, in the grandness and glare of the moment.
Matt Garza celebrates his no-hitter against the Tigers, the Rays' first no-hitter in franchise history.
2010 no-hitters
Matt Garza became the fifth pitcher this season to toss a no-hitter, and the third to face a minimum 27 batters.
Pitcher Date Team Opponent Score
Matt Garza July 26 Tampa Bay Detroit 5-0
Edwin Jackson June 25 Arizona Tampa Bay 1-0
Roy Halladay May 29 Philadelphia Florida 1-0*
Dallas Braden May 9 Oakland Tampa Bay 4-0*
Ubaldo Jimenez April 17 Colorado Atlanta 4-0
* Perfect games
On Monday night in St. Petersburg, Fla., in a crooked ballpark tucked between highways, another no-hitter -- baseball's fifth in just more than three months -- was born.
Matt Garza,the long and lean right-hander for the Tampa Bay Rays, pitched to 27 Detroit Tigers. The last -- Ramon Santiago -- popped out to right field on Garza's 120th pitch, igniting a celebratory scrum on the artificial infield under the tilted dome of Tropicana Field. There, the Rays honored Garza, and the first no-hitter in the franchise's 13-year history, and a 5-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers, and the relief that it was not they who were victimized this time.
