The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Justin Verlander, September 1, 2019)
THE CANADIAN PRESS VIA AP FRED THORNHILL
NO HITTER NUMBER THREE FOR JUSTIN VERLANDER
Well Aaron Sanchez, Will Harris, Chris Devenski and Joe Biagini did not last long on this list! Their combined no hitter less than a month ago for the Astros has been since surpassed by a more traditional no hitter, one thrown by Justin Verlander. This is old hat for the future Hall of Famer. He did this twice before with the Tigers.
Now to update the list.
