Joe Musgrove makes history with San Diego's first no-hitter, so here's a no-no history lesson
Joe Musgrove made a really good first impression with the Padres last Saturday, tossing six innings of three-hit ball with eight strikeouts and no walks in his debut with his hometown club after coming over from the Pirates in a three-team trade in January....
Jalen Suggs turned a ho-hum NCAA Tournament into one for the ages
The NCAA men’s basketball tournament hasn’t really been all that exciting this year. Sure, there have been upsets, and a handful of close games, but particularly in a year without Duke and Kentucky in the field at all, and several other traditional powers in the doldrums, not to mention the whole to...
No Fans to Celebrate Giolito No-No is SO On-Brand for 2020
What happens if there’s a no-hitter and nobody’s there to cheer it?...
Justin Verlander Once Again No-Hits Toronto For The Third No-Hitter Of His Career
For the second time in Toronto, and the third time in his career, Justin Verlander let out a victorious yell near the pitcher’s mound as his teammates mobbed him to celebrate him throwing a no-hitter. This latest one came in a 2-0 victory against the Blue Jays and was sealed when third baseman Abrah...
Mike Fiers Threw A Most Improbable And Very Oakland A's No-Hitter
For the second MLB season in a row, an A’s pitcher has thrown the first no-hitter of the season. That’s a rather unusual feat, given that the A’s rotation has been so famously dinged-up that they opted for a bullpen start in last year’s Wild Card game, but there was plenty about Mike Fiers’s no-no l...
Braves Pitcher Sean Newcomb Loses No-Hitter With Two Outs And Two Strikes In Ninth Inning
Oh, this was brutal. Braves second-year lefty Sean Newcomb—who’d never pitched a complete game, and who’d never pitched more than seven innings in a start, and who’d never thrown more than 111 pitches—gave up his first hit Sunday afternoon on a 2-2 single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inn...
Mariners Pitcher James Paxton No-Hits The Blue Jays
One start removed from a 16-strikeout show against the A’s, Mariners pitcher James Paxton caught everyone’s attention again, tossing a three-walk, six-strikeout no-hitter in a 5-0 win for Seattle against the Blue Jays....
Truly The Combined No-Hitter Is the Connoisseur's No-Hitter
Walker Buehler pitched six no-hit innings for the Dodgers Friday night, against the Padres. It took him 93 pitches to get through six; the most he’s thrown in a game this season is 94; 93 pitches is more than twice as many as he threw in any game last season, when he made his MLB debut and eight tot...
The Punishment For Pitching A No-Hitter Must Be Swift And Severe
A’s pitcher Sean Manaea no-hit the Boston Red Sox Saturday evening. It was Manaea’s third win in five starts, and Oakland’s fifth win in six games. Manaea had some help on the no-hit part from the umps and the scorekeeper, but the gem was a gem even if you happened to think Sandy Leon’s bloop to sha...
Surging Red Sox Abruptly Shut Down By No-Hitter By Oakland's Sean Manaea<em></em>
Sean Manaea, a rare bright spot on an otherwise mediocre A’s squad, threw the seventh no-hitter in team history against a Red Sox lineup that has averaged more than six runs a game this season. ...
We Are All Kyle Freeland's Mom
You root for a no-hitter, even as a disinterested fan; they’re rare and they’re exciting. But there were extra reasons to root for Kyle Freeland’s no-hit bid against the White Sox. He’s a rookie, for one, and was making just his 18th big-league start. He’s a Denver native, and was bidding to become ...
Matt Moore's No-Hitter Broken Up With One Out To Go
Matt Moore, who was traded to the Giants earlier this month from the Tampa Bay Rays, took a no-hit bid as close as he possibly could before it got dashed at the last second. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Corey Seager sent a flare into right field on Moore’s 133rd pitch. It landed squarel...
Jake Arrieta Throws First No-Hitter Of The Season
The Cubs might have to break out the pajamas again, because Jake Arrieta has thrown another no-hitter, blanking the Reds in a 16-0 blowout win on only 119 pitches. Incredibly, Arrieta hasn’t lost a start since his no-no back in August, and today was (obviously) his best outing since then. He only st...
Max Scherzer Becomes First Pitcher Since Nolan Ryan In 1973 To Throw Two No-Hitters In Same Regular Season
Max Scherzer, who in June came within an out of a perfect game and sandwiched that no-hitter with a one-hitter and five more perfect innings, no-hit the Mets tonight en route to becoming the first hurler since Nolan Ryan in 1973 to hold two teams hitless in the same regular season....
The Dodgers Are Convinced They Got A Hit
Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter had one close call: Kike Hernandez’s hard-hit ball to Starlin Castro in the third inning that the Dodger Stadium official scorer ruled an error. At the time, no one figured it would matter, but after the game players insisted they deserved to be one-hit....
Cole Hamels Throws First Career No-Hitter
For the first time in nearly 50 years, the Chicago Cubs have been no-hit after the soon-to-be-traded Cole Hamels struck out 13 en route to his first career no-no....
Max Scherzer Blows Perfect Game By Hitting The 27th Batter, Gets No-No
Max Scherzer downed 26 Pirates in order today but failed to achieve baseball’s 24th perfect game when he hit Pirates pinch-hitter Jose Tabata with a pitch on a 2-2 count. Scherzer struck out 10 in the 6-0 Nationals victory in Washington, just days after earning a game score that was among the best i...
Chris Heston Threw His No-Hitter In Front Of His Little League Coach
Here’s a neat story to go along with Giants pitcher Chris Heston’s unconventional no-hitter. One of the people in the crowd at Citi Field last night was a guy from Florida named Brad Thomsen, who happens to have coached Heston from little league all the way through high school....
Chris Heston Throws Unconventional No-Hitter
Giants pitcher Chris Heston, in only the 13th start of his career, threw a no-hitter against the Mets at Citi Field tonight. If you look at the box score, you’ll notice he didn’t walk any batters, so why wasn’t it a perfect game? Because he hit three batters: two in a row in the 4th and one to lead ...
Steven Souza's Brilliant Catch Completes Jordan Zimmermann's No-Hitter
Nationals righty Jordan Zimmermann turned a 10-strikeout, one-walk no-hitter against the Marlins today, and Steven Souza capped it off with a thrilling catch in left field for the final out. It was the first no-hitter in Nationals history....
