Photo / APSan Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove pitched the first no-hitter in the history of his hometown team, allowing only one baserunner in a 3-0 victory over the Texas Rangers this afternoon. "It's awesome to have it be in a Padres uniform," said Musgrove, who had never thrown a no-hitter at any level. In only his second start for San Diego, a franchise that played its first game in 1969, Musgrove (2-0) struck out 10 and faced 28 batters, one over the minimum.
