Tampa Bay Held Hitless by Palmer
Jim Palmer was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs.

"You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over."

There were no mistakes to be had for Palmer on this day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Baltimore Orioles right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Tampa Bay Rays a single base hit in the 6-0 victory.

"Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet."

Palmer faced 28 batters, had 8 strikeouts and gave up no walks in a dominating effort.

"He was on from the get-go," Rays manager said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."

Palmer has gone 12-11 this season with an ERA of 3.66 and 160 strikeouts in 182 innings pitched. Other clubs are hitting .231 against him.
