Buchholz @ Toronto 9/19

Clay making his 3rd major league start, but picked up the loss. He pitched pretty well however, going 4.2 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. He was pulled out after 68 pitches, which was disappointing, but understandable. They are definetly trying to keep him around the 155 inning limit they set for him. Ran into his trouble in the 5th when he let up the 2 runs. Opponents hitting just .184 off Clay and Clay is striking out 8.74 batters per 9 innings.

Buchholz @ Baltimore 9/6

Clay making his first Major League relief appearance against the Orioles who he no-hit in his last start. He went 3 innings, 1 hit, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K. Control was way off to start as he started the first batter with a walk and gave up a single to RF. He then walked the next batter to load the bases. However he got a timely double-play to help escape the inning without any runs allowed. He retired every batter after loading the bases and picked up the win. Stuff was solid as he settled in and consistently hit 93-94 with the fastball. Clay now 3-0 on the season.

Clay Buchholz vs, Baltimore 9/1

NO-HITTER! Unbelievable performance from Clay in just his 2nd major league start, no hitting the Baltimore Orioles. He pitched 9 innings, 0 hits, 0 ER, 3 BB, 9 K and a HBP. Had all his pitches working tonight, and fitting that he ends the game on a filthy curve. Clay becomes only the 3rd player in MLB history to pitch a no-hitter in his first or 2nd major league start. He finished with 115 pitches after having a previous career high of 98. GM Theo Epstein said they were highly considering taking him out if he got around 120 pitches, luckily that wasn't necessary. Congrats Clay, what a game!
