Quick analogy for everyone...

Shannon Stewart is to Curt Schilling as Jeff Baker is to ???

The answer, of course, is Dustin McGowan, the 25-year-old Blue Jays pitcher who took a no-hitter into the ninth inning today against Colorado before allowing a leadoff single to, ironically, the Rockies designated hitter, who was batting eighth.

The near no-hitter came five days after McGowan's worst outing of the year, a 10-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in which he gave up six runs on eight hits in 1.2 innings.
