The previous post on the no-hitter is here.

Lackey comes out for the ninth. He'll face Ellsbury, Pedroia and Youkilis. Pedroia has walked tonight, one of two base runners against Lackey.

Update: Ellsbury strikes out swinging. It's just the fourth K of the game for John. The Red Sox have been putting the ball in play, just not with authority.

Update: Pedroia falls behind 0-1, but gets a pitch he can hit and pulls it past Maicer Izturis at short to break up the no-hitter. Youkilis follows with a shot off the billboard above the Green Monster to make the score 6-2. A great effort by Lackey, and now K-Rod gets ready in the bullpen, just in case.

Update: Manny walks, but Lowell grounds out to end the game. The Angels move to 7-1 against the Red Sox and increase their road winning percentage, the best in the majors. Lackey throws 120 pitches, 81 for strikes.
