Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt twirled seven no-hit innings on a steamy Saturday afternoon in The Bronx, but did not get a chance to finish his chase for history because of a rising pitch count.
On a day made for hitting, the Yankees’ bats finally fell in line.
Clarke Schmidt did not.
The Yankees right-hander twirled seven no-hit innings on a steamy Saturday afternoon in The Bronx, but did not get a chance to finish his chase for history because of a rising pitch count.
Schmidt matched a career-high with 103 pitches to get through the seventh inning before Aaron Boone went to the bullpen, calling on JT Brubaker, who needed just one batter to end the no-hit bid.
The Yankees still one-hit the Orioles in a 9-0 win on a much-needed, get-right day for their offense, but the uber-competitive Schmidt may be left forever wondering what might have happened if he got the opportunity to finish what he started.
