Cole Hamels(7-6) thrilled the fans at Tropicana Field as he crafted a no-hit
masterpiece against the Minnesota Twins.  The Washington Nationals won by a
final score of 4 to 0.

Hamels had overwhelming stuff tonight.  He simply never gave the Minnesota
batters a decent pitch to drive.  He walked 3 Minnesota batters.  The tension
was mounting with every inning after the 6th.  Hamels appeared oblivious
himself to the mounting history until two were out in the 9th.  Only then,
did he allow himself one deep sigh and a slow trip around the mound.  Hamels
recorded 12 strikeouts.  Washington managed 13 hits in their victory.

Bartolo Colon(4-4) was charged with the loss.  He was hit hard and gave up 12
hits and 2 walks in 7 innings.  It took a while to pry Hamels way from his
teammates as they all wanted to show their appreciation and joy.  Finally,
however, Angelo Primo got to offer his own congratulations with a big bear
hug and the comment, 'That was one of the best pitched games I have seen in
all my years in baseball - Hamels was masterful out there tonight!'
