| Breaking News |  | Monday, June 7th, 2010: Total Control, San Francisco No-Hit by Wellemeyer
It's a rare thing to pitch a no-hitter in baseball. It's done by the great and the not-so-great. There are times when an average pitcher will briefly be glorified by this achievement. It is not an honor reserved totally for the great pitchers.
Today at Kauffman Stadium, Todd Wellemeyer of the Royals reveled in the glory of a no-hitter. Today he was the best he could be. He held San Francisco hitless and beat them 3-0.
One of the Giants told reporters after the game, "Everything was working for him. When that happens, everything is going your way. He was in command."
Wellemeyer rung up 8 strikeouts, issued 2 walks and faced only 31 hitters in his historic outing.
After the game in the Kansas City locker room, he spoke to reporters. "I really got nervous in the last inning. I knew I had a chance at a no-hitter. It was hard to stay calm and concentrate. Thank goodness for my catcher. He told me to just to concentrate on hitting his glove. He would do all of the thinking."
In 2010 Wellemeyer has logged 3 wins and 5 losses and struck out 54 batters in 65.1 innings while compiling a 5.92 ERA.
