Lester throws majors' first no-hitter of season as Red Sox rock Royals
This is Varitek's 4th time catching a no hitter (Nomo in 2001, Lowe in 2002, Buccholz in 2007, Lester) - a major league record. Don't forget Devern Hansack's 5 inning no-no in 2006. I know it doesn't count, but it was an official game
He also was the starting pitcher of the final game of the WBC and won MVP honors of that tournament. He'll be worth every penny the Yankees pay for him.
