Dan Haren was struck by a Kevin Youkilis line drive in his Angels debut on Monday night. Haren, who was struck in his right forearm, was taken out of the game. Haren was pitching well before the injury, delivering eight strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings of work. He left the game with Boston leading the Angels 2-1.

Rays starter Matt Garza made franchise history on Monday night against the Tigers by throwing a no-hitter at Tropicana Field. Garza struck out six batters and walked just one to enter Tampa Bay's record books. He needed 120 pitches to complete the feat. The Rays entered Major League Baseball as the Devil Rays in 1998. It took them 12 years to notch their first no-hitter. The Mets and Padres are now the only teams in MLB that have not had a pitcher throw a no-hitter.

Slow-footed Bengie Molina hit for the cycle with a grand slam and triple in his last two at-bats and the Texas Rangers came up with another big inning against Boston pitching to beat the Red Sox 8-4 on Friday night, according to an Associated Press report.

Barry Zito struck out 10 in eight dominant innings of two-hit ball and the San Francisco Giants beat New York 1-0 Friday night, shutting out the Mets for the second consecutive game, according to an Associated Press report. Closer Brian Wilson completed the three-hitter. Aubrey Huff had three hits and scored the only run on a fielder?s choice grounder.

Tim Lincecum pitched a six-hitter for his fourth career shutout and Pablo Sandoval hit an RBI double to help the Giants open the second half of the season with a 2-0 win over the Mets on Thursday night, as reported by the Associated Press.

The Cubs topped the Reds 3-1 on Saturday as Randy Wells took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. "I was just focused on what I had to do and tried to keep my mind on the game," Wells said. "I wasn't really paying attention to how many guys were left on or anything like that." Wells didn't allow a hit until Chris Heisey's lead-off single in the seventh.
