Sports Thread Special #4 For 6/25/10: Edwin Jackson No-Hits The Rays

The 4th no-hiiter this year.......stunning:

And the 2nd time it has happened to Tampa Bay this year!

The final line on Jackson's extraordinary evening, 8 walks and 149 pitches after the fact. And get this:

The right-hander held Tampa Bay hitless despite walking seven batters through the first three innings. He walked Ben Zobrist, Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena to load the bases with no outs in the third. But he forced Matt Joyce to fly out to right, got some help from third baseman Mark Reynolds on a nice grab and throw home on a B.J. Upton grounder and got out of the inning on Hank Blalock's groundout to second base.

After eight innings, Jackson had five strikeouts and seven walks on 134 pitches.

It is the 2nd no-hitter in Diamondbacks history after Randy Johnson's perfect game in 2004 against the Braves.

Kieth Olbermann with perspective.

And talk about doing it against his first major league team Edwin. Well done.
