Lewicki flipped a no-hitter for the A's in their 4-0 win over the Red Sox on April 21. Right fielder Travis Bonner made a fine catch to help preserve the gem.

Chad Mardesich and Kiko Alonso had two hits apiece to lead the A's offensively and Bonner drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

A night later, it was Messa's turn. The Giants hurler struck out 11 in a five-inning no-hitter in his club's 10-0 win over the Cubs. Caleb Larson homered and singled twice in the win and Andrew Gomez had three hits.

Larson tripled home the tying run in the seventh inning, then scored on an error to lead the Giants to a thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Orioles earlier in the week.

The O's took a 2-0 lead into the sixth before Chris Shelton singled home Geo Shannon in the bottom of the frame to cut the lead to 2-1. That set the stage for Larson's big hit in the seventh.

The Cubs and Red Sox played to a 10-10 tie in a game that was suspended because of darkness on April 20.

A double by Brett Labombarda and a three-run homer by Karl Winkleman sparked a five-run first inning rally for the Sox.

The Cubs answered with six runs in the second. Matt Polizzi got the inning started when he reached first, stole second and scored on a double by Jackson Dallas. C.J. Olsen capped the rally with a sac fly.

The Sox picked up three runs in the third to regain the lead, but the Cubs tied it the fourth on a run-scoring single by Olsen.

Brett Litle scored in the sixth to put the Cubs up 9-8, but Michael Shawhan scored to tie it and Labombarda singled home Politti to make it 10-9 heading into the seventh. Labombarda had three hits in the game.

Polizzi got on, then swiped a couple of bases and scored on Dallas' fourth hit of the game to tie it 10-10 in the seventh. After a scoreless eighth, the game was suspended.
