no-hitter

Though they have gotten off to a blazing hot start, becoming one of five teams since 1900 to go 17-2 in their first 19 games, the Boston Red Sox will likely want to forget their 20th bout of the season.

Tim Lincecum has thrown his first career no-hitter and the second in the majors in 11 days, a gem saved by a spectacular diving catch by right fielder Hunter Pence in the San Francisco Giants' 9-0 win against the last-place San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
