As a kid, Tyler Gilbert told his father that he was going to play in the big leagues one day.
“It wasn’t just a dream, it was an expectation.”
Tonight, with Dad in attendance, Tyler became the 4th pitcher ever—and first since 1953—to pitch a no-hitter in his first career start.
The @Dbacks have activated pitcher Tyler Gilbert for tonight’s game against the @SFGiants. Gilbert, a former standout at SLV High, Santa Barbara City College and @USC_Baseball, grew up cheering for the Giants. He’ll work out of the bullpen for now. #scscore
Trey Mancini's appearance in tonight's Home Run Derby isn't only to show people there's life after a cancer diagnosis.

Very cool: RHP Spenser Watkins, 28, who was set to be a high-school baseball coach this season before the #Orioles signed him as a free agent, had his contract purchased by the Orioles and will be in uniform tonight. He has spent eight years in the minors before reaching #MLB.
