    A.J. Burnett was 24 when he threw his only no-hitter.

    Now in his 15th major league season, the 36-year-old Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander knows his career is winding down. He would love to add a second one before retiring.

    "Absolutely," Burnett said. "My goal every time out is to throw a no-hitter. I know they are major league hitters that I'm facing and I respect them, but my job is not to give up hits. You should go to the mound with that mindset."
