April 15, 2010 Marlins 5, Reds 0 (Josh Johnson no-hitter)








Josh Johnson of the Florida Marlins pitches the first no-hitter of the 2010 SOM season, having no problem dispatching the Cincinnati Reds. Johnson is dominant, pitching perfect ball until walking Chris Dickerson to lead off the 7th inning and another walk to pinch-hitter Miguel Cairo with one out in the 9th for the only Cicny baserunners. Johnson also strikes out an impressive 14 Reds on the day, for the game score of 99!!

The 14 K for Johnson today puts him in a tie for the fourth highest strikeout total in a no-hitter. The record for most strikeouts in a no-hitter is 17, held by Nolan Ryan in a no-no from 1973. Ryan also had 16 (1991) and 15 (1974) strikeouts in two other no-hitters for the top three spots in most K for no-hitter. Don Wilson in 1967 and Warren Spahn in 1960 also struck out 15 batters in a no-hitter, followed by 14 whiffs from Ryan again in 1990, Sandy Koufax in 1965 and Josh Johnson today. Impressive company for Mr. Johnson in the record books.

What is most impressive out of all this is that the Reds had beaten the Marlins the previous three games by scores of 16-5, 16-1 and 12-4!! To have a team score 44 runs in three straight games and then be no-hit the next game has to be a first.

Florida fans certainly got their money's worth at Sun Life Stadium. Josh
Johnson(2-1) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Florida Marlins toppled the
Cincinnati Reds 5 to 0.

Johnson was cheered on with every out from the 7th inning onward. The
adrenaline had to be just pumping through his veins. The atmosphere was
electric out there in Sun Life Stadium tonight! He walked 2 Cincinnati
batters. The tension was mounting with every inning after the 6th. Johnson
appeared oblivious himself to the mounting history until two were out in the
9th. Only then, did he allow himself one deep sigh and a slow trip around
the mound. Johnson whiffed an impressive total of 14 Cincinnati batters.
Florida rapped out 8 hits for the night.

Aaron Harang(0-3) was charged with the loss. 'Johnson was simply incredible'
losing pitcher Harang said. 'I hate to admit this but I'd pay to watch a man
pitch like that'
