LACKEY LOSES NO-HITTER IN NINTH INNING
* John Lackey lost his no-hit bid with one out in the ninth inning
on Tuesday night when Dustin Pedroia singled. It’s been 50 years since
a visiting pitcher threw a no-hitter against the Red Sox at Fenway Park;
the Tigers’ Jim Bunning did that on July 20, 1958. In the half-century
since Bunning’s no-no, only two visiting pitchers have taken a no-hitter
into the ninth inning at Fenway Park: Lackey and Mike Mussina.
Mussina’s bid, on September 2, 2001, was a perfect game broken up with
two outs in the ninth inning by a Carl Everett single.
Lackey came close to becoming only the second pitcher since 1975 to
throw a no-hitter against the defending World Series champions. The two
most recent pitchers to do that were Nolan Ryan in 1990 (against
Oakland) and Dick Bosman in 1974 (also against Oakland).
