Boston's Lester Toss No-No

Well we've seen several pitchers flirt with no-hitters so far this young season, but Boston's Jon Lester is the first to get it done. Earlier tonight, Lester blanked the Royals 7-0 to become the first Boston lefty to toss a no-no since 1957. Lester becomes the second Red Sox pitcher in as many seasons to throw a no-hitter, following rookie Clay Buchholz's no-hitter last season. And Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek caught his fourth career no-hitter, a Major League record. Varitek, who caught Buchholz's no-hitter last season, as well as Lester's tonight, also caught Derek Lowe's no-hitter, and Hideo Nomo's second no-hitter.

Congratulations to Jon Lester!
