Felix Hernandez becomes the first pitcher in major league history to make 14 consecutive starts of at least seven innings pitched with giving up two runs or less. The Mariners right-hander, known as ‘King Felix,’ breaks the record previously held by Tom Seaver, who established the mark in 1971 while pitching for the Mets.

On the trade front, the Cardinals acquire P Justin Masterson from Cleveland for OF James Ramsey, while the Cubs obtain P Felix Doubront from the Red Sox for a player to be named later.

There is another no-hitter in the minor leagues as Tyler Cloyd of the Columbus Clippers performs the feat in a 13 – 0 win over the Louisville Bats. Cloyd retires the first 24 batters he faces before hitting Donnie Murphy with a pitch, but ends the game on a double play grounder and a line out.

A trio of pitchers for the AA San Antonio Missions combine on a no-hitter against the Corpus Christi Hooks, but only learn about it after the game. James Needy, Frank Garces and R.J. Alvarez join forces for what seems to be a 6 – 0 one-hitter, until the official scorer reverses a decision on Rene Garcia’s 6th-inning infield single, changing it to an error on shortstop Diego Goris.
