Monday night, the High Class-A Clearwater Threshers (Phillies) achieved something that has not even once happened in Major League Baseball history. They won despite zero hits and zero walks.

In the second round of their doubleheader against the Tampa Tarpons (Yankees), the Threshers used the new little time extra innings sudden passing cycle precepts to push over a continue running in the eighth inning (doubleheader diversions are seven innings in the minors) and earned a 1-0 win (box score).

The most noteworthy purpose of the eighth started with a sprinter on a respectable midpoint, and that sprinter advanced to third on a mix-up by Tampa shortstop Diego Castillo. Clearwater second baseman Daniel Brito by then conveyed the run home with a protector's choice ground ball to a respectable beginning stage. The Tarpons were not capable rally in the base of the eighth regardless of starting the inning with a sprinter at second.

In perspective of the goof, the Tarpons don't get credit with a perfect entertainment. They didn't leave every player. They do get credit for the no-hitter nonetheless.

The extra innings control makes it achievable for a gathering to hurl a perfect diversion and lose. For example, once the sprinter is put at a respectable midpoint to start extra innings, a gathering could hit him to third and bring him home on a defender's decision. No hitter accomplishes base against the pitcher, yet a run scored.

We've seen two or three no-hitter hardships at the MLB level consistently, most starting late in 2008 when botches by Jered Weaver and Jeff Mathis empowered the Dodgers to win 1-0 paying little mind to get zero hits. No hits and no walks be that as it may? That is at no other time been done at the MLB level. It was done Monday in the minors in any case, in view of the new sudden passing round oversee proposed to truncate beguilements and moreover shield energetic little time pitchers from being depleted.
