The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Combined Dodger No Hitter)
Orlando Ramirez / USA TODAY Sports – SNLA
Now THAT was a show for the folks of Monterrey Mexico!
In a game that was drenched in rain, the fans who braved the weather were treated to a combined no hitter. Walker Buehler took the first six. Tony Cingrani, Yimi Garcia and Adam Liberatore each threw a no hit inning and an unlikely group of arms etched their names into Dodgers history.
They knocked a more likely name off of this list… Clayton Kershaw.
Of course they did this against the Padres, still looking for their first No Hitter in Team History.
Now to update the list.

Sully Baseball Podcast – Watching a No Hitter while in Nashville – May 4, 2018
Orlando Ramirez / USA TODAY Sports
I watched the end of a combined no hitter while sitting in my hotel room in Nashville, Tennessee.
While waiting for the game to end, I pondered what would have happened if MLB had expanded into Nashville. I also tip my cap to Albert Pujols and his 3,000th hit.
Loving life in Music City in this episode of Sully Baseball.
While we are at it, enjoy the In Memoriam video.
