Colorado Rockies pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez on Saturday threw the first no-hitter in the franchise's 18-year history, a 4-0 victory over the Braves in Atlanta, according to MLB.com.
Jimenez also singled in a run and scored a run in the Rockies' three-run fourth inning, according the Web site of Major League Baseball.
He struck out seven batters and walked six. Jimenez threw 128 pitches, 72 for strikes, and his fastball was clocked at 100 mph early in the game. He was still throwing in the upper 90s late in the game, according to MLB.com.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!! Congrats, Ubaldo! This is only the 1st 'no-no' for this young, talented pitcher!!! GO GET EM COLORADO!!!!
What a game! The Rockies are a real team.
Whoohoo Rockies!!! They are gonna do it this year, division and the World Series!
NICE JOB UBALDO! You made the front page of CNN!
Great game for the Rockies/pitcher. McMclouth left his hitting with the Pirates, Melky the Yankees.Glaus in spring training. Diaz sits on the bench and can hit. Wouldn't pay laroche who can play first and sometimes hits. I think you get my drift.
Now this is NEWS...... Contgratulations Ubaldo Jimenez . awesome...........
Being a Rockies' fan, I am partial to Ubaldo Jimenez, I knew that he had been pitching well recently, so when I heard about the no-hitter it came as no surprise to me.
ha,ha! in atlanta!against the squawes! i'm laughing myself to death over this!
Too Cool!!!!
Hooray Ubaldo! Excellent game to watch. You were A+ the entire game. Cudo's to Dexter as well. Great catch. WOW is right!
A proud day in the Rocky Mountain State.
