-- Josh Beckett (Red Sox) relied on spot on accuracy and a deadly ensemble of pitches to no-hit the New York Yankees yesterday. The 26-year old threw with confidence, striking out ten and scattering 3 walks over nine innings.

-- Boston's Josh Beckett came up big yesterday against the New York Yankees. Not only did he mix his pitches efficiently, but Beckett held New York hitless.

"My arm was a bit sore in warm up," confessed Beckett, "sometimes you go out there and you're not feeling all that hot. You get into the game and all of a sudden you look up and say, 'Oh, I have a no-hitter!'. You're so focused on what you're doing, it just happens."

-- The Boston Red Sox relied on no-hit stuff from Josh Beckett as they beat the Yankees 4-0. Beckett pitched a complete game, surrendering three walks and fanning ten batters on his way to victory.

"It's quite a thrill," a candid Beckett told the media afterward, "The Yankees are an MLB club, and everyone up here is good enough to be here. Getting hit is a part of baseball. A no hitter is something special."
