Eleven Years Ago Today
Ricky Romero took a no-hitter into the 8th inning.
Unfortunately, he gave up a hit in the 8th, a home run. A two-run home run, but we still won.
Didn’t we have the debate about whether Ricky Romero was any good? I think he answered that one. He went 8 innings, allowed one hit, 12 K, 10 ground outs with 2 fly outs. Unfortunately, the one hit was an Alex Rios homer, but such is life. Kevin Gregg pitched the 9th to get the save. He struck out 2 in his perfect inning. He is pitching a lot better than he did last year. I’m not sure what the change is, but I like it.
