Ubaldo Jimenez pitched the first no-hitter in the Colorado Rockies’ 18-year history and the majors’ first this season, dominating the Atlanta Braves in a 4-0 victory Saturday night. Jimenez (3-0) walked six — all in the first five innings. He was helped by Dexter Fowler’s diving catch on Troy Glaus’ drive to left-center field in the seventh inning. “That was unbelievable,” Jimenez said. “The way he dove, I was like unbelievable.” It’s baseball’s first no-hitter since White Sox ace Mark Buehrle threw a perfect game in a 5-0 victory over Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009. – From ESPN
