Brandon Morrow, isn’t a name you hear too often. He pitches on a team that is out of the playoff picture, and seems to have nothing left to play for this season.

However, Morrow pitched a gem of a game against the AL Wildcard leading Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. He had a no hitter going for the entire game, until it came to facing Evan Longoria with two outs in the 9th inning. Longoria broke up the no hitter with a single before Morrow retired the following hitter.

The 1 hit he had allowed was not the only feat he accomplished in the game. Morrow also struck out a career high 17 batters in the game. He also got his first Major League shutout.

“Those things combined were more than enough to overcome the feeling of the missed no-hitter. That would have been a great feat, but I’ll start at a complete-game, one-hit shutout with 17 strikeouts, ” explained Morrow.

Not bad for a pitcher who doesn’t seem to get any recognition.
