Before i forget, Jason Hammel had a no-hitter through 7 innings. Didn't even realize it till Gary Thorne said something.

They actually mentioned it during the Rays broadcast. Hammel is a former Ray, I couldn't believe it when I heard it, but, hoped he would get it. Still a fantastic start for him though.

Indians get their first win of the season.

Hellickson is throwing a 3-hit shutout through 7 innings thus far. Wondering if Joe is going to let him go in the 8th?

[Cody]

3 Games over the next 3 days vs CWS

[RyanLeaf16]

Make that 8 shutout innings for Hellickson.

[Leftwich]

Let Hellickson get the CG.

Let Hellickson get the CG.

I have not seen anyone up in the 'pen. Rodney and Peralta have gone the last two days. If anything, they may send in Wade Davis to close out the game if they don't send Hellickson out for the 9th.

EDIT: nevermind, I just saw Rodney throwing in the 'pen.
EDIT 2: Hellickson is out to start the 9th. Knowing Maddon, one baserunner = end of the day for Hellickson

[RyanLeaf16]

I knew it lol! Hellickson gets the first two batters in the 9th, walks Swisher and Maddon hops out of the dugout and calls for Rodney to finish the game.

Hellickson went 8.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 K's

[RyanLeaf16]

...and the sweep of the Yankees is complete!

Keith Law is gonna be upset when the birds don't meet their quota of 100 losses.

Remember when the Orioles started 4-0 last year? Lol.

Sorry bro, i'm not talking about then. I'm just happy the Orioles are 3-0.
