TALK OF THE TOWN JULY 3:Bailey throws no-no (REDS-GIANTS[MLB])

Giants bat in top of inning go.

Reds bat in bottom

Let’s start top 9th, no outs, Homer Bailey 3 outs (and no hits) away from a no-hitter. 1st batter is Brandon Crawford hits a grounder to Bailey, who tosses it to Joey Votto! 1 down, 2 to go. Next batter, 2 strikes on Tony Abreu…Bailey makes it 3! Abreu goes down swinging so now Bailey is 1 out away. The next batter is Gregor Blanco, and Blanco hits it to Todd Fraizer, who guns it to first and with that the game is over and Homer Bailey throws the first no-no of the 2013 season.
