Boston fans certainly got their money's worth at Citi Field.  Matt Cain(13-7)
pitched a rare no-hitter as the Boston Red Sox toppled the Washington
Nationals 1 to 0.

Cain was spectacular.  He walked 6 Washington batters. The tension started to
build around the 6th inning.  By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified.
Boston managed only 6 hits on the night.  

Jeff Suppan(0-2) was the loser. 'I gave it everything I had. It's probably the
greatest day of my life,' Cain said. 'I was out there focusing on my
catcher's glove, that's all. I just concentrated on pitching my game.'
