Bowden tosses no-hitter
Teixeira walk breaks up perfect game
May 2, 2011

ATLANTA — Michael Bowden has been nearly unhittable this season, and tonight the New York Mets right-hander was unhittable against the Braves.

Bowden threw a no-hitter against Atlanta tonight, striking out 11 Braves hitter. Mark Teixeira drew a walk to lead off the fifth inning, proving to be the only thing standing in the way between Bowden and a perfect game.

The 24-year-old rookie is now 3-1 with a 0.87 ERA in the first four big league starts of his career. He threw seven innings of shutout baseball last time out against the Washington Nationals and has now gone 16 consecutive innings without giving up a run.
