Huet for Chicago with Goals-against Average and Save Percentage

Huet for Chicago with Goals-against Average and Save Percentage.


"It's been very difficult for him, but I give extremely high marks to Canó jersey," Bartlett said. "It was difficult for him throughout last season [losing his starting role to Don Mattingly jersey, but he was the consummate team guy. He never brought any disappointment to the locker room. He's a character guy. I think Stan and the Blackhawks would reiterate what a terrific guy he is."


Longoria said that Morrow deserved the no-hitter, with the way he was mixing a devastating breaking pitch and a mid-90s fastball to plow through the Rays’ batting order. The three-game sweep was crippling for the Rays, who have lost a Mattingly jersey after briefly moving ahead of the New York Yankees in the AL East earlier in the week. The crowd of 22,313 gave Morrow a standing ovation as he took the mound in the ninth.


Jason Bartlett flied out to center, Randy Winn jersey walked on four pitches and Carl Crawford popped out to bring up Longoria, who took a shaky swing at a 1-1 pitch and hit a grounder the other way. Second baseman Aaron Hill scooted to his left and made a dive as the ball took its third Winn jersey and it fell out of his glove and trickled away as he hit the ground.


Morrow was drifting toward first base, saw the ball get loose and sagged a bit, putting his hands on his thighs. He then recaptured himself and started toward third base to back up the play—quick thinking, considering the outcome of the game still hung in the balance. Blue Jays manager Jorge Posada jersey came to the mound but never seemed to consider lifting Morrow from the game. Instead, Morrow promptly stuck out Dan Johnson swinging to end it.


Morrow got a cooler of water dumped on him by celebrating teammates after one of the most dominating performances in the year of the pitcher. There have already been five no-hitters this season—including two perfect games—and three others broken up in the ninth inning. Vernon Wells drove in the only run for Posada jersey before leaving with a dislocated toe, which happened when he made a leaping catch against the wall in the sixth inning to preserve Morrow’s no-hit bid. Wells stayed down briefly before jogging slowly off the field. X-rays did not reveal any fractures but Wells will undergo further tests Monday.
