Hideo Nomo of the Boston Red Sox just misses becoming the fifth pitcher since 1900 to hurl two no-hitters in a single season as former Gold Glove right fielder Darren Lewis just misses catching Torii Hunter’s blooper in the top of the 7th inning. The hit, which many consider a questionable call by the official scorer, is the only one given up by Nomo in the 2 – 0 victory over the Twins. Nomo pitched a no-hitter against Baltimore on April 4th. He will miss another no-hitter on May 25th against Toronto.

Kevin Malone resigns as the general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers after 2 1/2 years in the post. Despite having the National League’s largest payroll, Los Angeles has failed to make the playoffs during his tenure.
