Righetti Throws No-Hitter For Yankees Over Red Sox
New York lefty Dave Righetti pitched the first Yankee no hitter since 1956, fanning nine and beating Boston 4 0 at Yankee Stadium. Wade Boggs, now with 101 hits and a .357 average, stood as the lone threat before Righetti’s sharp slider closed the gem. Don Baylor homered, and the Yankees added insurance runs in the eighth. The win left Righetti 10 3 on the season and set up a possible All Star bid after the game.
