Congratulations, Justin Verlander!
You not only pitched a complete game, you pitched a no-hitter, the first for the Detroit Tigers since Jack Morris pitched one in 1984! And 12 Ks in the process!
Just when certain people at mlb.com were wondering (again) if no-no's were a thing of the past, we get one from Mark Buerhle of the White Sox and now one from you.
(Belated congrats to you, too, Mark. I decided to note CGs after you tossed your no-no).
No-no's will be with us as long as there are pitchers with the stuff to go nine, and teammates who can go all out defensively to make it happen. So congrats also to Neifi Perez and Magglio Ordonez for flashing some great leather along the way.

It hurt to have it happen to the Brewers, but as a student of the game and one that appreciates pitching and defense, it was still a sight to see.
