Congratulations to Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester, who tonight became the 18th Boston Red Sox pitcher to pitch a no hitter, the victims - the Kansas City Royals. The last Sox no hitter came last season with Rookie Clay Buchholz (who is currently pitching in Triple -A). This would also be Lester's first career complete game.

The Sox beat the Royals 7-0. They have collected 4 no hitters in the 21st Century, Lester joins the list with Hideo Nomo, the aforementioned Clay Buchholz and Derek Lowe. Of the four, Nomo's was the only one away from the friendly confines of Fenway Park. His came against the Orioles in Baltimore.
