Tuesday 6/14/2008: Cleveland has no chance in a 1-hitter by A.J. Burnett
CLEVELAND - Seattle's right-hander A.J. Burnett is a great pitcher. And he once again showed his stuff, blanking Cleveland on just one hit. It's his 3rd shutout this season, and the 12th time he has done it in his career. Carlos Gonzalez spoiled the bid for a no-hitter when he singled with one out in the 7th inning. Burnett (10-3) was overpowering, fanning 10 while walking none, throwing 97 pitches. 'They took some ugly cuts at my breaking stuff, so I kept throwing it. Fortunately they were not able to adjust in time.' Seattle's third baseman Adrian Beltre stroked 3 hits in 5 AB, going deep twice, with three runs scored and driving in 4 runs. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Burnett. Seattle scored 11 runs on 14 hits.

Houston's first baseman Brad Fullmer had some reason to celebrate as well, as the league named him the National League Player of the Week. In 27 at bats he hit .556 with 0 HR and 7 RBI. Brad is hitting .278 this year, with 70 hits in 252 at bats. He has driven in 44 runs, slugging .500.
