What a first full week for Major League Baseball and unbelievably we have our first no hitter! Of 2021 and for the San Diego Padres! With teams concerned about pitch counts and 10 person bullpens, Joe Musgrove ensured none were needed. Facing just one more than the minimum, Musgrove sent down 27 Texas Rangers without allowing a hit. Ten strikeouts, no walks and just a hit by pitch. It was Musgrove's first complete game and, consequently, his first shut out. Could not have come at a better time. The Padres are expected to compete with the World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers and if they can get this sort of performance out of Musgrove, they just might unseat the champs. A worthy Sportsman of the Week!
