Yesterday's sweet Blue Jay victory over the Tigers raised some
questions about shutouts and no-hitters. 
1) What is the longest (in innings) shutout game?
2) If a pitcher allows no hits (and no runs) in nine innings, but
the game is still tied at the end of the ninth, does he get
credited a 'no-hitter' even if he does not end the game? (Jimmy
Key was 3 outs away from that yesterday -- this guy has the right
stuff!).

P.S. I read that the Blue Jays are last in road attendance this
year. It's time the american media start covering the best team
in baseball!
