Eric Milton Still Plays Baseball?

Milt is back.

Of course he does.

Eric Milton recorded his first victory since 2006 for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night with a 7-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.

The left-hander surrendered just one run over five innings, allowing seven hits and no walks. Milton, the last guy to throw a no-hitter for the Minnesota Twins a decade ago, underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in June of 2007 and missed all of last season before joining the Dodgers as a free agent in February.

Welcome back!

Oh my gosh I forgot all about Eric Milton! He's already made two starts for LA, too.

Didn't Milton's no-hitter wrap up around noon/1:00? The Twins had to start the game at some absurd hour because of a college football game at the Metrodome that evening. I don't think the Angels were even awake until the 8th inning.

The Dodgers have a nice selection of old "They're Still Playing Baseball?" types to use in the rotation there(Milton, Jeff Weaver, etc.)
