Postseason Baseball Begins; Halladay Throws No Hitter

Major League Baseball’s postseason began Wednesday afternoon, as the first round, and best-out-of-five division series’, began.

In the afternoon game the Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-1, as Cliff Lee hurled seven innings of one-run ball, striking out 10 Rays.

Roy Halladay, in his first career postseason start, threw only the second no-hitter in baseball history, the last, and only one, being during the 1956 world series when Don Larson pitched a perfect game for the Yankees, against the Dodgers. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-0.

In the night game, the New York Yankees overcame a three run deficit to defeat the Minnesota Twins 6-4.
