Red Sox rookie is a no-hit sensation:

BOSTON -- The call-up came up with all zeros.

Clay Buchholz threw a no-hitter in his second major league start, just hours after the Boston Red Sox promoted him from the minors Saturday night.

The 23-year-old righty became the first Red Sox rookie to throw one, baffling the Baltimore Orioles with an assortment of curves, changeups and fastballs in a 10-0 victory.

"I sort of tried to zone everything out, but it was sort of hard with 40,000 people screaming,"he said."I'm in a blur right now."

The Red Sox drafted Buchholz with a pick they obtained when they lost free agent Pedro Martinez to the New York Mets. He was chosen 42nd in the 2005 draft out of Angelina Junior College in Lufkin, where he went 12-1 with a 1.05 ERA that year.

With two out in the ninth, Buchholz started Nick Markakis with a ball, then went ahead 1-2 when the batter fouled one off with a check swing. Then Buchholz threw a 77 mph curveball that Markakis watched go by.

Plate umpire Joe West hesitated, but catcher Jason Varitek rose from his crouch to run to the mound. The rest of the Red Sox soon joined him there, and David Ortiz enveloped the rookie in a bear hug.

"He's somebody you don't want to see running at you, full-speed,"Buchholz said.

Buchholz, who turned 23 on Aug. 14, pitched the third no-hitter this season -- following Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox against Texas on April 18 and Justin Verlander of Detroit against Milwaukee on June 12.

Buchholz (2-0) became the 17th rookie to throw a no-hitter and the first since Florida's Anibal Sanchez last Sept. 6.

He threw 115 pitches and became the third pitcher since 1900 to throw a no-hitter in his first or second major league start, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Bobo Hollomon did it in his first start on May 6, 1953, for the St. Louis Browns at home against the Philadelphia Athletics, and Wilson Alvarez did it in his second start on Aug. 11, 1991, for the Chicago White Sox at Baltimore.
