Seven losses from clinching their 10th straight losing season, losers of 10 of their last 11, and 10 days removed from a record-breaking 30-3 loss at home, things couldn't possibly get worse for the Baltimore Orioles, right? How about getting no-hit by a guy making his second big league start ever?!Clay Buchholz walked 3, struck out 9, and gave up exactly zero hits at home tonight, in a 10-0 laugher. He is just the third pitcher in the modern era to throw a no-no in his first or second career start, and the first to do it since Wilson Alvarez in 1991 against, you guessed it, the Baltimore Orioles.
"It's amazing. That's all I can say," Buchholz beamed after the game.
Orioles fans might not use the exact same word, but I'm sure they're in disbelief as well.
For those of you keeping score, the official Dave Trembley era is off to a 1-10 start. Stay tuned.
