For Rays’ Garza, no hits and one spot in history
this year is the first in franchise history
by Fred Goodall
st. petersburg, fla.— Matt Gar- za pitched the first no-hitter in Tam- pa Bay Rays history and the fifth in the major leagues this season in a 5-0 victory over the visiting Detroit Ti- gers on Monday night.

Fifth no-hitter
series MVP, rebounded from one of his worst outings of the season. He retired pinch-hitter Ramon Santiago for the final out on an easy fly ball to right fielder Ben Zobrist, who made a terrific running catch in the third to rob Danny Worth. “That ninth inning,” Garza said, “I
kept telling myself, ‘Just finish it, just finish it, just battle, battle. If it’s meant to happen, it’s going to hap- pen.’ ” Garza’s teammates mobbed him near the mound after a perform- ance that left the New York Mets and San Diego Padres as the only big league teams without a no-hitter. The Rays began play in 1998 — the Padres in 1969 and the Mets in ‘62. The closest Detroit’s injury-deplet- ed lineup came to a hit was Worth’s two-out liner in the third, but Zobrist made a leaping catch above his head as he retreated toward the wall. Miguel Cabrera hit a hard liner to
left leading off the eighth. Carl Craw- ford barely had to move to make the play. The Tigers were no-hit for the first time since Randy Johnson shut them down at Seattle on June 2, 1990. Garza (11-5) struck out six in Tam-
pa Bay’s 2,039th game — and on a night when the Rays struggled to generate much offense themselves.

Matt Joyce’s grand slam with two outs in the sixth was the first hit off Detroit starter Max Scherzer (7-8). The next batter, Jason Bartlett, sin- gled for the only other hit of the night until Crawford homered in the eighth. The 26-year-old Garza, who tossed
a one-hitter at Florida on June 26, 2008, retired Don Kelly on a routine grounder to second base in the ninth and struck out Gerald Laird before getting Santiago to end it on his 120th pitch before a crowd of 17,009. —Associated Press
