In player moves today, the Rangers sign veteran lefty reliever Arthur Rhodes, an All-Star for the first time at age 41 last year; the Rockies trade two minor leaguers, Wes Musick and Jonnathan Aristil, to Houston to land reliever Matt Lindstrom; and the Diamondbacks sell utility player Rusty Ryal to the Yomiuri Giants.

Vladimir Baños of Pinar del Rio throws the 51st no-hitter in Castro-era Cuban play and also walks none in beating Matanzas. Unfortunately, his shortstop makes an error, costing him the perfect game.
