Lester tosses 2014's record 3rd no-no
Jon Lester spun the third no-hitter of the season Monday night, shutting down the Livingston Lords of Swing, 4-0, at home in Rooster Coliseum. It's the first no-hitter in franchise history for the Blue Ridge Bombers.
Lester walked one and hit a batter while the Bombers committed one error. He was supported by two-run home runs in the third, by Ben Zobrist, and in the eighth, by Nelson Cruz.
The 30-year-old left-hander breezed through 3 1/3 innings before Prince Fielder's error allowed Carlos Gomez to reach base (he was promptly caught stealing second). Lester's only walk came in the 5th against Jedd Gyorko and he also plunked pinch hitter Alex Avila in the 6th before setting down the final 11 batters, all but three on ground balls. Lester threw 105 pitches, 69 of which went for strikes. He improved to 4-9 on the season and lowered his ERA to 5.19.
Shelby Miller went the distance for Livingston, scattering nine hits and four runs while striking out five against three walks.
It's the first time three no-hitters have occurred in one season (two no-hitters were thrown in 2002, 2011 and 2012). Earlier this season, Homer Bailey threw Bridgewater's first-ever no-hitter, beating Sardine City, and the following Sunday, Brick City's Scott Feldman no-hit Allentown. Bailey has since been traded to Vancouver for an 8th round pick next year.
The no-no came one night after Allentown's Cliff Lee twirled a one-hit, 98-pitch masterpiece against Marietta. The lone hit was a 3rd inning double by Ichiro Suzuki. Lee walked one and struck out 9 in dominating, 8-0.
