Injury Remembered

Chad Jennings has notes and quotes from Phil Hughes great game Wednesday night. Hughes was indeed thinking about the injury that occurred the last time he was working on a no-hitter:

When he got the first out of the seventh inning, Hughes said his mind immediately jumped to his near no-hitter in Texas, when he had to leave after 6.1 hitless innings because of a hamstring injury. “After I got that first out in the seventh I was just hoping I didn’t go down with something,” he said. “That was all I was thinking about.”

Hughes didn’t use his change-up in the game. Almost all his pitches were fastballs and cutters with a few curve balls mixed in.
