Tavella Spins No-Hitter Against Pittsburgh (WIN) Friday, January 10th , 2048 Fans at Roger Dean Stadium got a rare gift today as Jeff Tavella of the Marlins tossed a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh (WIN) Pirates. Although Tavella did not appear to have his best stuff in the early innings, he turned masterful as the game went on, ultimately striking out 15 and walking 2 in a 6-0 Miami (WIN) victory. "We had our chances in the first few innings when he was hittable, and we couldn't capitalize on them," Pittsburgh (WIN) manager Edgar Dena said later. "In the last four or five innings, he totally shut us down." In all, Tavella faced only 29 batters. While getting into his groove, he was helped by several defensive gems. "I don't remember a better-pitched game," Marlins manager Eric Hosmer said. "And how about our defense today?" For the season Tavella has compiled a 4-2 record with a 3.16 ERA. |
