Ubaldo Jimenez pitched the first no-hitter in the Rockies‘ 18-year history and the majors’ first this season, getting help from a spectacular catch by Dexter Fowler in the seventh inning of a 4-0 win over the Braves on Saturday night.

Firing fastballs that reached 98 mph into the ninth inning, Jimenez pitched the first no-hitter since White Sox ace Mark Buehrle tossed a perfect game in a 5-0 victory over Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009.

The San Diego Padres, New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays are the only remaining baseball clubs without a no-hitter.

Jimenez began to establish himself as one of the majors’ top young pitchers last year, when he went 15-12 with a 3.47 ERA and a team-best 218 innings to help the Rockies win the NL wild card.

Saturday’s no hitter could be just a sign of big things to come for the Rockies’ ace. Get your team hats here!
