With some great defense, but also with 14 strikeouts. That ties Sandy Koufax for most SOs in a perfecto.

I think it'll be tough to get MLB to overturn that scoring decision. You're asking them to retroactively award a no-hitter. I don't think that's the kind of thing Bud will want to do.

Sox bats woke up a little last night, but man, they just look bad almost every night. Even when they win one, you just shake your head. Could be a long summer.

BTW, anybody watch the Yankees on ESPN last night? They told the story of how Robinson Cano was named. His dad was a huge Jackie Robinson fan, but his mother didn't want him to be named anything to do with baseball. Apparently in the Dominican Republic, you have file official paperwork at a town office before a new birth is registered, etc. So with the mom still in the hospital after the birth, the dad snuck the name "Robinson" onto the official papers and filed them at the office. Mom was pissed, according to the story.
