Johan Santana Throws A No Hitter!

With 134 pitches Friday night, Johan Santana did what no other pitcher in the New York Mets’ 51-year history was able to do: He tossed a no-hitter. The St. Louis Cardinals were the victims in the 8-0 win that meant as much to the ace lefthander as it did to his team.

Given the fact that the Mets were one of only two major league franchises never to have had a no-hitter—the San Diego Padres still are on the clock—it is tough to decide whether the accomplishment is bigger for Santana or the franchise.Through eight innings, Santana had thrown 122 pitches while striking out seven and walking five. He faced the heart of the Cardinals' order in the top of the ninth, retiring Matt Holiday, Allen Craig and David Freese to make history in Queens.

Mexico vs Bosnia 2-1 Gol del Chicharito Hdz.

On a rainy Thursday night in Chicago, Mexico and Bosnia-Herzegovina played to an entertaining 2-1 win for Mexico after a goal in second-half injury time by Javier Hernandez. Unlike many matches for Mexico in the United States, this friendly featured a significant number of Bosnian fans, which certainly helped the atmosphere. Likewise, both teams showed good play and seemed eager to get a result.

Mexico began the match well as forward Aldo de Nigris beat defender Sanel Jahic just inside the box with a mix of luck and skill when Jahic slipped a bit on the slick field. De Nigris tried a speculative shot from an unfavorable angle at Bosnian goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, and the resulting save produced a rebound. Giovani dos Santos was in perfect position for the ball and tapped it in the net to put Mexico up 1-0 in the sixth minute.Both Andres Guardado and Hernandez made half-hour cameos in their respective returns from injury. Seconds before Chicharito entered the game, De Nigris scored from a fractionally offside position. Hernandez's strike half an hour later stood up. Ognjen Vranjes attempted a bicycle kick to clear the ball out of his box. Instead it trickled invitingly in front of his goalmouth, where Hernandez reacted quickest to score.

The international friendly was the second of three for El Tri in the United States. Previously, Mexico beat Wales 2-0 in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. It will play Brazil in Dallas on June 3.
