Extra Innings, No Hitters, Outfielders Pitching... and its only April. Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez threw the teams first no hitter yesterday against the Atlanta Braves. FYI the METS, Padres (like father like son), and Rays are now the only 3 teams without a No Hitter in franchise history. This also isn't the Braves first time on the losing end of a No Hitter.
Meanwhile in St Louis the Mets played a double header with extra innings. Oh wait I'm sorry I'm being told that was all ONE game. Yup the Mets played for 20 innings, 6 hours and 53 minutes against the Cards in what was the longest MLB to be played in 2 years. (Rockies v Padres 22 innings on April 17, 2008.)
Say what you will about Mets pitching, the boys in Orange and Blue were able to start the game with a pitcher and end it with a Pitcher, unlike the Cards having to resort to Outfielders for pitchers in those late innings.
