Hernández Fashions No-Hitter Against Royals:
José Hernández really did a number on the King George Royals at Barons Ballpark today -- and that number was zero.

The Baltimore Barons hurler had what he later called "one of the best moments of my life," tossing a no-hitter and leading the Barons to victory, 2-0.

"This is something special," Hernández said. "I knew from the fifth inning that I had a no-hitter working. I tried to get it out of my mind, but you just can't. They have too many scoreboards in the park. They're everywhere you look."

The right-hander faced only 28 batters in the no-hit gem, struck out 10 and walked 1.

"We simply couldn't get any wood on the ball," King George manager Jorge López said when asked about the epic performance. "Hernández was brilliant out there. He certainly had our number."

In the current season in 7 starts, José Hernández has a record of 4-1 with 52 strikeouts in 53 innings and a 1.87 ERA.

------------------------------

This just might be the year of the pitcher, with the third no-hitter thrown in the first 4+ weeks of the season, and the second by a Barons pitcher. Is this team that good? They just might be! Their pitching is showing off so far, and this guy, Hernandez, well he is 100% beast! I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up holding the Golden Arm Award at the end of the season, and at 23-years-old he has a very bright future ahead... he is already getting compared to Ricardo Gonzalez which is some great praise right there.

One more no-hitter we tie the season record of no-hitters, and I have a feeling this might be a magical year for the pitchers in the DBL.
