It was a special night in Bradenton Thursday, as four pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter against Clearwater. It was a night filled with great defensive plays and good pitching throughout, and Bradenton now has no-hitters in back-to-back seasons.
In the bigger scope of things, that was in all likelihood the second most significant thing to happen that day.
Quinn Priester had been out with an oblique injury up till Thursday, when he returned to the mound in a rehab start that lasted three innings. He struck out one and hit a batter, he also made a fantastic defensive play recovering from getting hit in the leg by a comebacker, and still got the runner.
