Remember Clay Buchholz? He was the Red Sox rookie who, in 2007, threw a no-hitter in his second-ever Major League start. Of all the no-hitters ever thrown in the Majors, that has to go on the list of great ones, if for no other reason than his complete inexperience.

Well, Buchholz is back in the news today, after making a minor-league start for the Pawtucket Red Sox against the Louisville Bats in AAA baseball. It wasn’t a no hitter that got him in the news, however – it was something that was almost even more impressive…the most elusive of all pitching accomplishments – a perfect game.

Only 17 pitchers have ever accomplished this in the Major Leagues, and make no mistake – it’s just as significant of an accomplishment in AAA. Buchholz entered the 9th inning with the perfecto intact before giving up a single and ending his date with the record books.

Nonetheless, this kid is special and will continue to keep batters frustrated for years to come. Grab some Red Sox tickets and see for yourself!

The Red Sox have undoubtedly been the hottest team in the MLB in the past two weeks, but they ran into their first set back in 12 games last night when they lost on a walk off mess in the bottom of the ninth to the Cleveland Indians. The loss sends the Sox to 13-7 as they remain in second place in the AL East.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Cleveland’s Asdrubal Cabrera hit a hard ground ball to Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis. Youkilis’ toss to pitcher Javier Lopez was on target but bobbled as Cabrera reached safely. As Lopez attempted to pick up the ball, Mark DeRosa was able to score from third as the Indians picked up a tough win 9-8 over Boston.

The Red Sox are playing great baseball now and are looking to continue the success that they’ve seen in the las half-decade. As one of America’s favorite teams, There’s no doubt that they are a team that any baseball lover would love to watch in person. Grab some Red Sox tickets today and enjoy a day in Fenway!
