He became the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the history of interleague play in Japanese baseball, doing so against the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles on May 25, 2006. He was the last foreign pitcher to throw a no hitter in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) until 2022, when Cody Ponce of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters did so against the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks on the 27th of August.[1]
On July 13, 2007, he tested positive for finasteride, which was banned by NPB due to its use as a masking agent, and suspended for 20 days.[2]
