Felix Hernandez of Seattle went to Fenway Park to face the Red Sox and Daisuke Matsuzaka's much ballyhooed debut and tossed a one-hitter as the Mariners won 3-0.
JD Drew led off the eighth with a single for Boston's only hit. Hernandez was the first Mariner to throw a nine inning one-hitter since Randy Johnson did so on July 16, 1998 against Minnesota. Brent Gates broke up that no-hitter with one out in the eighth inning with a single.
Unrelated note: Dear SRI Mortgage telemarketer, I have caller ID. I don't need to talk to you. And I rent. So I can't mortgage anything. So stop calling my home.
This was a TERRIFIC game though, much like when Millwood got past Barry Bonds in the 7th inning of his no-hitter I really thought Felix had his in hand once he got past Ortiz and Manny.
So of course I called/IM'ed several people to tell them to watch the game. And Drew promptly got the hit.

Sorry, Mariner fans :(
