Mike Mussina and Mariano Rivera combined for a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians today in New York. Yankee starter Mussina had a 5-0 lead and had only thrown 79 pitches, so fans were surprised to see Rivera come out to pitch at the top of the 9th with a no-hitter on the line. Whatever the reasoning was, Rivera completed the no-hitter and NY came away with the 5-0 victory.

The New York (AL) Yankees pitching staff gave the fans an afternoon that
they'll never forget by tossing a combined no-hitter! The tension started to
build around the 6th inning. By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified.
New York (AL) finished with 11 hits in the victory.
The winning pitcher was Mike Mussina(6-4) who allowed no runs in 8 innings.
Cliff Lee(5-5) ended up with the loss. He got hit hard, allowing 10 hits and
5 walks in 5 and 1/3 innings.
'You probably have a better chance of winning the lottery than this
happening,' said Mussina who got credit for the win, 'I don't expect it to
sink in for awhile.' he said. 'You know, it's hard to say who was better, the
starter or the bullpen!'
