Near no-no for Scranton

So big ups to Clay Buchholz for throwing a no-hitter in his second career start.

What? No smart ass comment here, that’s a helluva thing. I wish Hughes coulda finished it off.

Jose Cruz Jr.: 0 for 3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB
Bronson Sardinha: 1 for 3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB – .251-.334-.436-.770, but it seems like it should be alot worse
