| Johnny Cueto of the Reds is some happy, as he joins John Johnson and Ervin Santana as members of the no-hit club for 2010. Sucks that it was against the Phillies though. What is most agonizing (for Cueto anyway) is just how close he came to a perfect game. Looking at the box score, you see that the Phillies had no runs, no hits, no walks and nobody left on base. That makes you think now how did Cueto not get a perfect game? With one out in the 8th inning, he hit Jayson Werth with a pitch after retiring the first 22 batters in a row. Perfect game is gone, but Raul Ibanez can't capitalize and grounds into an inning ending doubleplay erasing the runner. A perfect 9th gives Cueto the no-hitter, and puts him to 6-0 on the season, but how disappointed he must be with just how close to a perfect game he came. |

WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Jay Bruce robbed Chase Utley of a Homerun!
History was made in Cincinnati as Johnny Cueto(6-0) tossed a no-hitter and the
Cincinnati Reds defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 3 to
0.
The partisan crowd cheered every Philadelphia out from the 7th inning on. He
did not even surrender a walk. The Cincinnati players and coaches started to
leave Cueto alone with his thoughts after the game reached the 7th inning.
By the time the 9th inning rolled around, you could hear a pin drop every
time he went to his wind-up - and an explosion after every out. Cincinnati
banged out 9 hits on the night.
Kyle Kendrick(6-4) absorbed the loss. What a show!' Dusty Baker said. 'Cueto
was great out there -- I'm happy that he got it.'
