The start of the Major League Baseball postseason began with an amazing performance by Roy Halladay in the Philadelphia Phillies 4-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Halladay pitched a complete game and pitched a no-hitter in the postseason. It's just the second time a pitcher has pitched a no-hitter in the postseason. The last time it happen was in 1950.
The performance overshadowed the Phillies' 1-0 lead against the Reds in the division series and it can be a motivation boost for the Phillies to jump on and capture another World Series Championship.
Earlier in the day the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays opened up their division series and the Rangers took Game 1 with a 5-1 victory at home.
The Rangers were lead by their ace pitcher, Cliff Lee who pitched seven innings and allowed one run on five hits.
The day ended with the defending champs, the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins opening up their division series.
The game started with the Twins leading 3-0 after five innings, but the Yankees rallied back to tie the game after six innings.
Mark Teixeira put the Yankees up in the seventh inning with a two-run home run.
The game is currently in play as the Yankees are up 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth.
