On Friday night time the Chicago Cubs gained at Yankee Stadium for the primary time ever, making some historical past for the storied franchise.
Saturday it was the Detroit Tigers’ flip.
Pitchers Matt Manning, Jason Foley, and Alex Lange mixed to no-hit the Toronto Blue Jays, marking the primary time in franchise historical past Tigers pitchers mixed for a no-hitter. The Tigers gained the sport 2-0, scoring a pair of runs within the backside of the primary and by no means trying again.
Manning received the beginning and went 6.2 innings, giving technique to Foley within the seventh inning. Foley completed out the seventh and pitched a flawless eighth inning, turning issues over to Lange for a flawless ninth to shut issues out.
The ultimate out got here on a chopper to 3rd, as a near-capacity crowd at Comerica Park exploded as the ultimate out was recorded:
All three pitchers had been interviewed on the sector after the sport, and Lange may need had essentially the most excellent response of all of them:
“Holy sh—!”
That makes two days in a row the place a storied franchise completed one thing for the primary time of their historical past.
If the outdated adage is true, and good issues occur in threes, you may wish to watch a Yankees recreation tomorrow. Or possibly a Boston Purple Sox recreation. Possibly a Cincinnati Reds recreation? We hear they’re fairly enjoyable once more.
