Below is a list of Major League Baseball no-hitters, enumerating every no-hitter pitched in Major League Baseballhistory. The list also includes no-hit games that were broken up in extra innings or were in shortened games, although they have not been considered official no-hitters since 1991.
Nolan Ryan threw seven no-hitters in MLB, the most of any pitcher.
Through September 4, 2024, there have been 326 no-hitters recognized by Major League Baseball (MLB): 43 before the formation of the American League in 1901, and the rest in the modern era. Three other games are also noted: one in 1875 by Joe Borden that is accepted as a no-hitter in the National Association but not as a major league game, one in 1876 by Borden that is disputed and not recognized by MLB, and one in 1901 by Pete Dowling that is also disputed and not recognized by MLB. The first no-hitter officially recognized by MLB was pitched by George Bradley on July 15, 1876, during the first season of play in the National League. The most recent major league no-hitter was thrown by Chicago Cubs pitchers Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson, and Porter Hodge against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 4, 2024.
Johnny Vander Meer pitched the only consecutive no-hitters in MLB history.
An official no-hit game occurs in Major League Baseball (MLB) when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings thrown by the pitcher(s). By definition, a perfect game is also a no-hitter, as no batters reach base (thus there are no hits allowed). In a no-hit game, a batter may still reach base via a walk, an error, a fielder's choice, an intentional walk, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference.[1] Also, due to these methods of reaching base, it is possible for a team to score runs without getting any hits.
While the vast majority of no-hitters are shutouts, no-hit teams have managed to score runs in their respective games 25 times. Seven times a team has been no-hit and still won the game: two notable victories occurred when the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Houston Colt .45s (now called the Houston Astros) 1–0 on April 23, 1964, even though they were no-hit by Houston starter Ken Johnson, and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2–1 on April 30, 1967, even though they were no-hit by Baltimore starter Steve Barber and reliever Stu Miller. In another five games, the winning team won despite gaining no hits through eight innings (not needing to play the bottom half of the ninth inning), but these are near no-hitters under the 1991 rule that nine no-hit innings must be completed in order for a no-hitter to be credited.
The pitcher who holds the record for the shortest time between no-hitters is Johnny Vander Meer, the only pitcher in MLB history to throw no-hitters in consecutive starts, while playing for the Cincinnati Reds in 1938. Besides Vander Meer, Allie Reynolds (in 1951), Virgil Trucks (in 1952), Nolan Ryan (in 1973), and Max Scherzer (in 2015) are the only other major leaguers to throw two no-hitters in the same regular season. Jim Maloney technically threw two no-hitters in the 1965 season, but his first one ended after he allowed a home run in the top of the 11th inning. According to the rules interpretation of the time, this was considered a no-hitter. Later that season, Maloney once again took a no-hitter into extra innings, but this time he managed to preserve the no-hitter after the Reds scored in the top half of the tenth, becoming the first pitcher to throw a complete game extra inning no-hitter since Fred Toney in 1917.[2]Roy Halladay threw two no-hitters in 2010: a perfect game during the regular season and a no-hitter in the 2010 National League Division Series. He is the only major leaguer to have thrown no-hitters in regular season and postseason play.
Ryan holds the record for most no-hitters in a career, with seven. Sandy Koufax is second on the list with four no-hitters.
The most recent MLB season completed without a no-hitter was 2005.[notes 1]
The names of pitchers who threw a perfect game are italicized. For combined no-hitters by two or more pitchers on the same team, each is listed with his number of innings pitched. Games that were part of a doubleheader are noted as either the first game or second game.
Regulation games in which a pitcher or staff pitches less than nine full innings, or in which a hit is allowed in extra innings, are not recognized by MLB as no-hitters. However, before the rules were tightened in 1991, such games were recognized as official no-hitters.
Regulation no-hit losses ending in the middle of the ninth
Since the bottom of the ninth inning is not played if the team batting last already has a lead, the pitcher(s) of the team batting first can complete a full game without allowing a hit, but not be credited with an official no-hitter. The winning team may not need to bat in the bottom of the ninth due to runs scored by walks, errors, or anything else not involving hits, in which case the losing team's pitcher(s) will not be credited with an official no-hitter, because they pitched less than nine innings. This has happened only five times in major-league history.[77][78]
Such games were recognized as no-hitters before 1991; however, MLB no longer recognizes such games, past or present, as no-hitters. They are still recognized by the Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown, NY and certain record books that are not directly affiliated with Major League Baseball. While in modern baseball the home team always bats last, the visiting team sometimes batted last in the early days of professional baseball.
Brooklyn's run scored on an error, sacrifice bunt, and fielder's choice in the seventh inning. Note that Chicago, the home team, opted to bat first in this game, as was allowed at the time; thus, Brooklyn did not bat in the bottom of the ninth.[79]
Indians' first run scored in the first inning on a walk, two stolen bases, and an error; second run scored in the third inning on two walks, a fielder's choice, stolen base, and another fielder's choice.[83][84]
Dodgers' run scored on an error, stolen base, and sacrifice fly in the fifth inning.[85]
Shortened games
Under certain circumstances, if a game cannot continue because of the weather, darkness, or any other reason, but at least five innings have been completed, the result can stand as an officially completed game. No-hitters pitched under such circumstances were recognized before 1991 (although not generally in the same caliber as games that were played to their natural conclusion), but are no longer recognized by MLB as official no-hitters. In many instances, these games were shortened by rain, by darkness (in the era before lights), or due to timing constraints when teams needed to travel on regularly scheduled trains. Some games were scheduled for less than nine innings as part of a doubleheader, decided "by agreement" between managers prior to the start of the game (to avoid darkness or in consideration of travel schedules), or by league rule (2020–21 MLB rules because of pandemic restrictions).
Names listed in bold signify the pitcher was pitching a perfect game at the time the game was ended; such games are not recognized as official perfect games.
Game called due to darkness; first game of the doubleheader went 11 innings; Brooklyn run scored on a walk, stolen base, and sacrifice fly in the first inning.[97][98][notes 225]
Game called due to rain;[107] McCormick allowed a single in the sixth inning, but as the game was called before that inning was completed, the game officially ended after five innings.[108]
During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season where teams played 60 games, doubleheaders were scheduled for seven innings each for player safety reasons. The rule was retained for 2021.[113][114]
MLB previously recognized no-hitters when the only hits allowed occurred in extra innings, until the rules were tightened in 1991. They are still recognized by the Hall of Fame Museum in Cooperstown, NY and certain record books that are not directly affiliated with Major League Baseball. Names listed in bold signify the pitcher was pitching a perfect game through nine innings.
Vaughn (losing pitcher) surrendered single with one out in 10th;[131] allowed one more hit; known as "Double No-Hitter" prior to MLB rule change since the opposing pitcher threw 10-inning no-hitter—see entry in main list for Fred Toney.[132]
Haddix (losing pitcher) pitched 12 perfect innings; first base-runner was lead-off hitter in 13th, who reached on an error; followed by sacrifice bunt, intentional walk, and game-ending hit (ruled a one-run double rather than a three-run home run due to a base-running mistake).[135][136]
Martinez (winning pitcher) pitched 9 perfect innings; first San Diego base-runner was from lead-off double surrendered by Martínez in 10th; Rojas relieved him and retired the next three batters, earning a save.[141][142]
Hill (losing pitcher) threw 9 no-hit innings and was perfect into the 9th before first base-runner reached on error; surrendered walk-off home run leading off the 10th inning. This is the only time on record that an extra-innings walk-off home run has broken up a no-hitter.[143]
Some baseball historians claim this was the first no-hitter in National League history, but contemporary newspaper reports differ; see Joe Borden#1876 season.
Not officially recognized by Major League Baseball for unknown reasons. There is some discrepancy over whether this was a no-hitter. Baseball Reference and Retrosheet[31] both credit Dowling with giving up no hits. Newspaper accounts, however, state that Milwaukee's Wid Conroy reached on an infield single in the 7th.[32][33] Conroy's career statistics, though, do not credit him with a hit in this game.[34]
Eason was the losing pitcher in the previous no-hitter, a feat not duplicated until 1947. He would be the home plate umpire for Davis' no-hitter in 1914. Remains the last time the Cardinals have been no-hit at home.
Bush retired 27 batters in a row after a leadoff walk in the first inning. He also started against Cleveland a day earlier and gave up five runs in just three innings. The Athletics went 36–117, making them the worst team to pitch a no-hitter. This was the final game in the career of future Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie.
The same teams, in the same park, on the next day as the previous no-hitter, but the second game of a doubleheader. Groom also pitched two hitless innings in relief during the first game. The White Sox went on to win the 1917 World Series—to date, the only time a team won a World Series after being no-hit twice in the same season.
First game of a doubleheader. Ruth and Thomas were ejected for arguing balls and strikes after walking the first batter, who was then caught stealing. Shore retired the next 26 in a row for a no-hitter completely in relief.[71]
In the sixth inning, Athletics pitcher Slim Harriss hit a ball to left field but was tagged out after not touching first base. Two innings later, Frank Welch was credited with a hit that was later changed to an error on Red Sox left fielder Mike Menosky. Ehmke pitched a one-hit shutout in his next start four days later, the only hit coming on the first batter of the game when Howie Shanks misplayed a ground ball that was ruled a hit instead of an error.
Second game of a doubleheader. In the first game, Paul's brother Dizzy had a no-hitter for 8 innings but finished with a 3-hit shutout. First no-hitter in 1140 days, the longest gap between no-hitters in the modern era as measured by days.
Only base-runner was a walk to the opposing pitcher in the third inning. A day earlier, Shoun's teammate Bucky Walters had a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the eighth inning.
Second game of a doubleheader. First no-hitter by a Canadian-born pitcher. The winning run was scored in the bottom of the ninth inning. Fowler was making his first start in nearly three years after serving in World War II. This was his only victory of the season.
Trucks pitched two no-hitters in 1952 but went 5–19. Yankees' shortstop Phil Rizzuto was initially credited with a hit in the third inning but it was later changed to an error on Tigers' shortstop Johnny Pesky.
First no-hitter by black pitcher. Jones walked the bases loaded with no one out in the ninth inning but then struck out the final three batters to end the game.
Wilhelm had pitched primarily in relief prior to this season; this was only his ninth career start. The Yankees would go on to win the World Series, and wouldn't be no-hit again until 2003.
Second game of a doubleheader. First start after being traded by Phillies to Cubs. Cardwell retired the last 26 batters he faced after a first inning walk. First no-hitter against the Cardinals in 41 years.
Burdette scored the game's only run. He faced the minimum and didn't issue a walk. The only base-runner came on a hit by pitch in the fifth inning, who was then retired on a double play.
Spahn's first no-hitter came in his 506th career start, the most in Major League history. He would pitch his second just six starts later. First time since 1917 a team no-hit the same opponent twice in a season, a feat that hasn't happened since.
Belinsky's fourth career game. First no-hitter at Dodger Stadium. Belinsky's gem was also the first in Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim history, and the first since major league baseball came to California with the Giants and Dodgers in 1958.
First no-hitter by a Dodgers pitcher at Dodger Stadium (see Bo Belinsky's entry above) and the first in team history since the move from Brooklyn in 1958.
10 innings. Maloney threw 187 pitches, walked 10 and hit a batter. Two months earlier, Maloney also had a no-hitter thru 10 innings before it was broken up in the 11th.
Dodgers only managed 2 base-runners and one hit, setting records for fewest base-runners and hits in a game by both teams combined. The last no-hitter thrown against the Cubs until July 25, 2015. As of 2011, first of only two perfect games at Dodger Stadium – the other was pitched by Dennis Martínez in 1991.
On the same day, the Red Sox fired Pinky Higgins as their general manager. At 1,247 this was the lowest attended no-hitter until Lucas Giolito pitched one on August 25, 2020 with no fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
First game of a doubleheader. 9-inning home loss. Tigers had at least one base-runner in every inning except one. Barber walked 10, hit two batters and committed an error.
Blue's third career win and eighth start. He had lost a no-hitter with two outs in the 8th inning two starts earlier. All four no-hitters of 1970 had been pitched in California.
Also hit 2 home runs. All-time hits leader Pete Rose hit a hard line drive right at Phillies third baseman John Vukovich for the final out. Reds were the first team since 1923 to be no-hit at home twice in a season.
First no-hitter in Pittsburgh in 64 years. Pirates were no-hit at home for the first time since 1886, when they were a member of the American Association. First (and to date only) no-hitter with both a Hall of Fame pitcher and catcher.
First game of a doubleheader. First no-hitter pitched in a regular-season game in Canada. Stoneman also pitched the first one in Montreal on April 17, 1969.
Pitched seven innings of no-hit ball in next start. Closest to tying Vander Meer's back-to-back no-hitters since Ewell Blackwell in 1947. Ryan's 17 strikeouts set a record for a no-hitter, tied in 2015 by Max Scherzer. He also became the fourth pitcher to throw two no-hitters in the same season.
Busby took a no-hitter into the 6th inning in his next start, setting an AL record by retiring 33 consecutive batters (the record stood until 1998). He is the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter in each of his first two seasons in the Majors.
Bosman's own fielding error with 2 outs in the 4th allowed Oakland's only base-runner (Sal Bando). Bosman threw only 79 pitches, 60 of which were for strikes.
Final day of the regular season. First no-hitter involving more than two pitchers. The Athletics had already clinched the division title and removed Blue after five innings to rest him for the postseason.
First no-hitter thrown against the Expos, and the third the Expos had participated in (the other 2 were by Bill Stoneman in April 1969 and October 1972).
Eckersley had pitched seven hitless innings to finish his previous start, then took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning in his next. His 21 consecutive hitless innings was the longest streak since Cy Young in 1904. Eckersley spent nine more seasons as a starter before becoming a Hall of Fame closer. He retired with 390 saves, the most by any pitcher who also threw a no-hitter.
Second game of a doubleheader. Third no-hitter in Expos history. Only no-hitter thrown by an Expos pitcher at Olympic Stadium. Previous 2 were one in Philadelphia and one also in Montreal, but at Jarry Park (Bill Stoneman in 1969 and 1972).
First no-hitter thrown against the Blue Jays – the first no-hitter by a Toronto pitcher would also be played in Cleveland; see the entry for Dave Stieb's 1990 no-hitter.
Game was televised on NBC. Fourth game of Tigers 1984 season. Detroit would start 9–0 and were 35–5 after 40 games. Went on to win 1984 World Series over San Diego Padres.
Robin Yount made a diving catch in center field to rob Eddie Murray of a hit for the final out. Brewers' ninth win in a row to start the season; they would go on to win their first 13 games, tying the Major League record.
The start of the game was delayed two and a half hours by rain. Browning's teammate Ron Robinson lost a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning earlier in the season. The Dodgers would go on to win the 1988 World Series. Browning lost a perfect game in the ninth inning the next season, the closest any pitcher has come to throwing two perfect games.
Langston was making his Angels debut after signing a $16 million contract — at the time the largest in history — in the offseason. Witt is the only pitcher to throw a perfect game and be involved in a combined no-hitter. This was his first relief appearance since 1983.
Only base-runner came on third baseman Charlie Hayes's error leading off the 7th. Hayes would later make a spectacular catch to end the game. Mulholland faced the minimum.
First Orioles no-hitter since 1969, also against the Athletics. Milacki was hit on the hand by a ground ball in the sixth inning and had to leave the game after completing the inning.
Hassey becomes the first catcher of two Major League perfect games. Fourth and final no-hitter in Montreal Expos history and the only perfect game. Dodgers pitcher Mike Morgan also took a perfect game into the sixth inning. Game was televised in Canada by TSN.
Second career start and first game with White Sox. Alvarez came into the game with a career ERA of infinity; in his only previous start, with Texas two seasons earlier, he had given up three runs without recording an out.
In the fifth inning, Dan Pasqua hit a fly ball to left field that deflected off the glove of Kirk Gibson. After initially being ruled a hit, the play was later changed to an error on Gibson.
Mercker had been primarily a reliever before this game and was making his third career start after 81 games out of the bullpen. Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn made the final out, less than two months after his brother Chris was the last out of Martinez's perfect game.
Fifth no-hitter in Rangers history and the fourteenth perfect game in MLB history. Preserved by a diving catch in the ninth inning by rookie center fielder Rusty Greer. Season shortened by the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike.
Ten days later, Jiménez again shut out the Diamondbacks 1–0, allowing only two hits. Randy Johnson was the losing pitcher in both games. Cardinals scored the only run of the game on Thomas Howard's RBI single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. First no-hitter at Chase Field, then Bank One Ballpark.
The Los Angeles Angels currently hold the longest streak the majors of not being no-hit. This was the last time it occurred. Game began at 11 a.m. local time due to a University of Minnesota football game that was scheduled to be played at the Metrodome that same night.
Nomo's first start with Red Sox. Second game of the season. Until 2024, earliest no-hitter by the calendar. First no-hitter at Camden Yards. The start of the game was delayed by 43 minutes due to a power outage in the stadium.
Last no-hitter thrown at the original Yankee Stadium before it closed in 2008. Oswalt left with an injury in the second inning. Originally held the record for most pitchers used in a combined no-hitter, which was tied on June 8, 2012 when the Mariners no-hit the Dodgers. First interleague no-hitter thrown by away team. First no-hitter thrown by an NL team against an AL team. First official no-hitter against the Yankees in 44 years, a then-Major League record. Octavio Dotel struck out four Yankees in the eighth inning, the first Astros pitcher to pull off the feat since 1986.
Diamondbacks are most recent team to perform a no-hitter then suffer the following one. First MLB no-hitter in 6,364 games, the longest gap between no-hitters in history as measured by games played. Randy Johnson, most recent pitcher to throw a no-hitter at the time, took a no-hitter into the seventh inning the same day.
Only base-runner came on Juan Uribe's error with one out in the 8th. Sánchez was 2–8 on the season with a 5.30 ERA at the time and had recently been demoted to the bullpen.
Second perfect game in White Sox history. Umpire Eric Cooper called both of Buehrle's no-hitters. In the ninth, new center fielder DeWayne Wise leapt over the wall to take a potential home run away from Gabe Kapler. Buehrle retired first 17 batters in his next start to set the record for consecutive batters retired at 45 (later broken by Yusmeiro Petit), spanning three starts.
Jackson walked eight and hit a batter on 149 pitches, the most ever for a no-hitter in MLB history.[75] The Rays became the first team since the 2001 Padres to be no-hit twice in a season, and the first team in history to be no-hit three times within a one-year span.
Garza faced the minimum (only base-runner allowed was retired on a double play). Opposing starter Max Scherzer threw 5⅔ no-hit innings. The Rays are the first team since 1991 to pitch a no-hitter and be no-hit in the same season, and the first since 1956 to be involved in three no-hitters in one season. Game televised nationally on ESPN.
Game 1 of the 2010 NLDS. Second no-hitter in postseason history, after Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Halladay became the fifth pitcher to pitch two no-hitters in the same calendar year (including the postseason), and the first one to do it with a perfect game. One batter reached base. Game was televised by TBS.
Third perfect game in White Sox history and the first no-hitter thrown at Safeco Field. This was also Humber's only career complete game. Game was televised regionally by Fox; the network cut away from a New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game to show the final inning nationally.
First no-hitter in Mets history and the first no-hitter thrown at Citi Field. A ball hit by St. Louis' Carlos Beltrán was controversially ruled foul by the third base umpire, preserving the no-hitter in the 6th inning.
Third no-hitter in Mariners history and the second no-hitter thrown at T-Mobile Park (then Safeco Field). Millwood left with an injury after the sixth inning. Tied record for most pitchers used in a combined no-hitter. For Pryor, it was his first career victory.
5th no-hitter in Marlins history, and the first ever thrown at Marlins Park. The Marlins scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth on a wild pitch, with Álvarez standing in the on-deck circle. It was the first no-hitter to end in walk-off fashion since Cordova and Rincon combined for a 10-inning no-no in 1997. It was also the first no-hitter thrown on the last day of the regular season since Mike Witt's perfect game on September 30, 1984.
Twenty-fourth no-hitter in Dodgers franchise history and the second thrown at Citizens Bank Park. Beckett fanned six and walked three on his 128 pitch outing. In the ninth inning, he struck out Chase Utley to secure the victory.
Rockies' only base-runner came on a throwing error in the seventh. Kershaw became the first MLB pitcher ever with 15 strikeouts without allowing a single hit or walk. It was also the 3rd no-hitter by a reigning Cy Young Award winner, following Sandy Koufax (1963 CY, 1964 NH) and Bob Gibson (1970 CY, 1971 NH).
Nationals rookie Steven Souza Jr., who came in as a defensive replacement in the top of the ninth inning, made a diving catch in left-center field to retire Christian Yelich for the final out. First no-hitter for the Nationals since the team moved to Washington, and the first by any Washington pitcher since Bobby Burke in 1931. This was the final game for both teams for the 2014 season, and it was the second year in a row in which a no-hitter had been thrown on the final day of the regular season. Henderson Álvarez, who had thrown Miami's no-hitter on the final day of the 2013 season, was the losing pitcher in this game.
Seventeenth no-hitter in Giants franchise history, and the second no-hitter thrown at Citi Field. Heston was the 22nd rookie pitcher to throw a no-hitter. He did not walk a batter, but he hit three of them, joining Wiltse in 1908 and Brown in 1997 as no-hitter pitchers whose only base-runners came on hit batsmen. Heston's is the first such game to feature more than one hit by pitch.
Scherzer was perfect through 8⅔ innings when he hit pinch-hitter José Tábata to allow the Pirates' only base-runner of the game. Fifth no-hitter pitcher after Wiltse, Burdette, Brown, and Heston to only allow their base-runners on hit batsmen, and the second after Wiltse to lose a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning on a hit batsman. Scherzer threw a one-hitter, having been perfect for 6 innings, in his previous start, and was perfect through 5 in his next start after this no-hitter.
Fifth pitcher, after Blue, Witt, Mercker, and Millwood, to pitch a complete game no-hitter as well as contribute to a combined no-hitter. Kris Bryant flew out to Odubel Herrera, who tripped after losing the ball in the sun, on a full count for the final out. This was also the first time that the Cubs were no-hit since Sandy Koufax's perfect game in 1965, and the first no-hitter thrown at Wrigley Field since 1972. Hamels' last start with the Phillies as he was traded to the Texas Rangers six days later.
Second Japanese pitcher to throw a Major League no-hitter, after Hideo Nomo. First no-hitter in an American League game since teammate Félix Hernández's perfect game almost exactly three years prior, breaking a string of 12 straight NL no-hitters.
Eleventh no-hitter in Astros history, and the first no-hitter for the Astros as an American League team. This was also the first complete-game no-hitter by an Astros pitcher since Darryl Kile did it in 1993. First complete game no-hit shutout pitched by Houston since Mike Scott in 1986.
Dodgers no-hit for the second time in 9 days; this is the shortest interval since the 1923 Philadelphia Athletics and the first time a team were no-hit twice in one calendar month since the 1971 Cincinnati Reds.
Second game of a doubleheader. Scherzer's second no-hitter of the season; both of which also featured no walks. Scherzer was perfect through 5 innings before an error by 3B Yunel Escobar. Scherzer's 17 strikeouts tied Nolan Ryan's record for most in a no-hitter and included 9 straight. Second highest game score ever for a nine-inning game, with 104, following Kerry Wood's 1998 one-hit complete-game shutout. Scherzer becomes the fifth pitcher to throw two no-hitters in the same season.
Fifteenth no-hitter in Cubs history. Most run support in a no-hitter since 1884. First regular season no-hitter against the Reds since 1971. Fourth no-hitter thrown by a reigning Cy Young Award winner. Game televised by ESPN.
Sixth no-hitter in Marlins history. Vólquez faced the minimum 27 batters. Thrown on the birthday of Vólquez's friend and teammate Yordano Ventura, who had died in a car crash the previous January.
Twelfth no-hitter in Athletics history and the first no-hitter since Dallas Braden's perfect game in 2010. Red Sox no-hit for the first time since 1993. Red Sox came into the game with a record of 17–2, the best winning percentage by a team who had a no-hitter thrown against them in history. First time since 1988 that a no-hitter was thrown against that season's World Series champions.
Game played in Monterrey, Mexico. First no-hitter thrown outside the United States or Canada. Second no-hitter thrown at a neutral site. Buehler's third career start.
Sixth no-hitter in Mariners history. Second no-hitter thrown by a Canadian pitcher, first since 1945 (Dick Fowler), and first by a Canadian pitcher in Canada. Third different country in which a no-hitter was thrown in 2018.
Eleventh no-hitter and the second combined no-hitter in Angels history. Largest run differential in a no-hitter by an AL team since 1938. In their first home games since his death on July 1st, the Angels were honoring pitcher Tyler Skaggs, having every team member wear his jersey. First no-hitter involving the use of an opener.
Twelfth no-hitter and the second combined no-hitter in Astros history. First start by Sanchez since being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays along with Biagini. Sanchez came into the game without a win in his last 17 starts and with a 6.07 ERA, worst among all starting pitchers. Mariners are the first team to have two combined no-hitters against them in one season.
Thirteenth no-hitter in Astros history. Retired the last twenty-six batters in a row after a first-inning walk. Verlander became the third pitcher after Addie Joss and Tim Lincecum to no-hit the same opponent twice, and the first to do so on the road. He also became the sixth pitcher in MLB history to throw three career no-hitters. Astros scored the only runs of the game on Abraham Toro's two-run home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
Nineteenth no-hitter in White Sox history. Giolito struck out 13, the most ever in a White Sox no-hitter, and allowed only one base-runner, a four-pitch walk to Erik Gonzalez in the fourth inning. Took place with no fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mills' first complete game and 15th career start, the fewest by a Cubs pitcher before throwing a no-hitter since 1972. With Lucas Giolito 19 days earlier, this was the first time both Chicago teams threw a no-hitter in the same season. Second no-hitter at Miller Park; the first was also by a Cubs pitcher, Carlos Zambrano in 2008. Took place with no fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. First NL-site no-hitter where designated hitters were used.
