John Lester pitched a no hitter against the Royals to start off a four game set with the Royals. He seemed to get stronger and stronger as the game progressed and he wrapped up the game with a 94 mph heater to end the game with a strikeout. It was the 4th no hitter for the Red Sox in the 21st century and Varitek has caught all 4 of them. After the game, Tek stated he didn't even know Lester had a no hitter until the 7th inning. He stated "I didn't even really know we had a no-hitter until after the seventh," Varitek said. "I kind of looked up in the seventh and saw he was around 100 pitches and thought, he did his job. And I kind of glanced in the bullpen and saw nobody warming up and thought, 'That's kind of weird.' Then I looked back and saw [the zero]. It was good."
It was a great way to start off the series against the Royals. Congrats Lester!
