The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for James Paxton)
(Photo: Nick Turchiaro, USA TODAY Sports)
Third No Hitter This Year… In As Many Countries
Sean Manea threw one in America… Walker Buehler, Tony Cingrani, Yimi Garcia and Adam Liberatore combined for one in Mexico and now Canadian James Paxton threw one in his home country.
The Mariners lefty no hit the Blue Jays in a 5-0 final, the sixth no no in Seattle Mariners history. Hisashi Iwakuma had thrown the previous one
Paxton has always had ace stuff, but he has had trouble staying healthy. The Mariners are hoping that they finally are going to have that break out year.
Now to update the list.

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.

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.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Sean Manaea)
AP Photo/John Hefti
That’s one way to slow down the Red Sox!
Sean Manaea faced a red hot Red Sox team who was throwing their ace and said “I have a novel idea. Why don’t I throw a no hitter?”
A bloop over the infield could have been called a hit instead of an error and it looked like Benitendi reached until a replay showed the glove brushing his shirt.
Now a bright young star no hit the hottest team in baseball and who else was in the stadium? Dallas Braden, who had thrown the previous no hitter in A’s history.
Hat tipped from THIS Red Sox fan.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Edinson Volquez, June 3, 2017)
AP
GREATEST PITCHER NAMED EDINSON IN MAJOR LEAGUE HISTORY
Seriously! Name a better Edinson ever who pitched in the bigs. Actually, when you think of it, Edinson Volquez has been an All Star, a Rookie of the Year candidate, he’s pitched in the post season with 3 different teams and got a World Series ring for his troubles.
And today?
He added a no hitter to his surprising resume. And it is also surprising that this is the first no hitter since Jake Arrieta pulled it off last April.
Sad for Henderson Alvarez who is taken off this list, but let’s open up the flood gates for no hitters in 2017!
Now to update the list.
Hey Padres!
How about getting on this list sometime soon!

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Jake Arrieta, April 21 2016 )
John Minchillo – AP
FIRST NO HITTER OF THE YEAR!!
Evidently Jake Arrieta and Max Scherzer are the only pitchers allowed to throw no hitters! Well, Arrieta was given plenty of run support and earned it with his second masterpiece in less than a year.
Who knows? Maybe it will be a magic year for the Cubs.
It is time to update my list!
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Max Scherzer, October 3, 2015 )
AL BELLO/GETTY IMAGES
TWO NO HITTERS IN ONE YEAR!!
Well you can not blame Max Scherzer for the Nationals’ woes! He came to DC and found himself getting two no hitters in the same year!
The last time someone did two in one year it was Roy Halladay doing one in the regular season and another in the the Division Series.
Scherzer had the second game of a lifetime and Washington has its third no hitter since the last day of the 2014 season after not having one since 1931.
Not a bad way to say goodbye to the season for Scherzer.

I think the Cubs have their Wild Card Game Starter!
No offense Jon Lester. But I have a feeling that Jake Arrieta is the right man for the job.
No hits, 1 walk, 1 error and 12 strikeouts? And the Dodgers get no hit AGAIN in the last 2 weeks.
Not a bad night for the man we can all call the Cubs ACE!

ASTRONOMICAL!
Mike Fiers pitched a masterpiece tonight. The Astros pitcher threw a no hitter and totally shut down the reeling Dodgers, retiring the last 21.
It is the kind of game that could be the inspiration for ONE first place team and the low point for another.
And while we are here, let’s salute Roy Oswalt, Peter Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel andBilly Wagner . They were the Astros pitchers who combined for a no hitter back in 2003. It was fun for them to be listed here until tonight.
But this is Mike Fiers night!

A Masterpiece for Iwakuma!
This has been a let down of a season for the Seattle Mariners, but what a highlight for Iwakuma. The 5th no hitter in Seattle Mariners history and the first since the perfect game by Felix Hernandez in 2012.
It was also his first career complete game. It is a good thing they didn’t bring in Fernando Rodney for the 9th.

If this is Cole Hamels final game with the Phillies, what a way to go!
The Phillies should take advantage and trade Hamels RIGHT NOW before anyone thinks he has any arm issues. Getting an ace fresh off of a no hitter?
I think he is in good shape.
This is also the first no hitter thrown against the Cubs since Sandy Koufax in 1965. A cool fact but the end of a Twitter account called @CubsNoHitStreak which reminded the world of their ability to break up no nos in every game since.
Alas, it is no more.
No. 7,921: Cole Hamels has no-hit the Cubs. The Streak dies.
— Cubs No-Hit Streak (@CubsNoHitStreak) July 25, 2015
A few more thoughts… Cole Hamels has started more no hitters since September 1, 2014 than the Padres and Mets have had in their history combined.
But his last no hitter was a combined one, so that means Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon are off the list now.
They didn’t last long… not as long as Indians pitcher Len Barker who has been on this list since 1981.

Max Scherzer gets his first no hitter!
He nearly got a no hitter in his last start and nearly threw a perfect game (ah those hit by pitches.) I think he will take it. Man, Jordan Zimmermann didn’t last long on this list. After no Washington no hitter since Bobby Burke’s gem for the Senators in 1931 and no franchise no hitter since Dennis Martinez’s perfecto in 1991, Zimmermann ended the regular season of 2014 with a no no.
Now Scherzer takes Zimmermann’s place. And by the way he has been pitching, he will be back.

The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for June 9, 2015 )
Adam Hunger-USA TODAY Sports
The first No Hitter of 2015!
Lots of Giants greats have thrown no hitters, from Christy Matthewson to Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. Now add Chris Heston to the list. Just think. In 2013, the Giants designated him for assignment and anyone could have picked him up.
I bet the Giants are glad nobody did.
With a 5-0 masterpiece, Chris Heston has his own piece of history and removes his teammate Lincecum from this list.
I am sure Tim is fine with it.
It is time to update my list!
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated For September 28, 2014 )
The first Washington No Hitter since 1931!
No Washington Nationals pitcher has ever thrown a no hitter. The last one thrown representing Washington? Bobby Burke, who no hit the Red Sox in August of 1931.
That’s all over now!
Jordan Zimmermann threw the first Washington Nationals no hitter (and the first in Franchise History since Dennis Martinez‘s perfect game as a member of the Montreal Expos.)
9 complete, 1 walk and 10 strikeouts of the Marlins, who for the second straight year end the season on a no hitter. Last year Henderson Alvarez won 1-0 over Detroit. This year the Marlins LOST 1-0.
Odd symmetry.
Safe to say, Jordan Zimmermann looks solid for this post season.
It is time to update my list!
The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated For September 1, 2014 )
JOHN BAZEMORE/AP
Hey Phillies Fans! You finally have something to cheer about!
I bet when Jonathan Papelbon didn’t get dealt this trade deadline, he didn’t think he would be closing out a no hitter.
Cole Hamels gets his name in the no hitter ledger, but now so do Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Papelbon of all people. A 7-0 win for the Phillies was NOT exactly what the Braves needed right now, but the Phillies have a highlight for the season.
Sadly that means taking Roy Halladay’s Division Series no hitter off this list, but oh well. History waits for nobody, especially not Jake Diekman,

Tim Lincecum is one of the most loved sports figures in San Francisco history. And the things he is putting on his resume are usually reserved for Hall of Famers. What will Lincecum’s legacy be?
He very well may have a similar legend as another pitcher who is beloved in Southern California.

Is Tim Lincecum done? NOT TODAY!
The Giants needed to have a decent pitching performance and give their bullpen a break. What did they get? A masterpiece from Tim Lincecum. For the second straight season, Giant fans can say “Tim is not a Cy Young contender anymore, but at least he gave us a no hitter this year.)
The list of Giants pitchers with more than one no hitter? It is short but impressive:
Christy Mathewson
Tim Lincecum
Good company to be in.
And like last year, Lincecum did it against the Padres, the only remaining franchise without a no hitter.
(Yes, I know, the Washington Nationals haven’t had a no hitter either. They had no hitters when they were the Montreal Expos.)

Still no San Diego Padres nor Washington Nationals no hitter yet (although the Nationals franchise have no hitters as the Expos and the city of Washington had some with the Senators.)

Henderson Alvarez threw the 6th no hitter in Marlins history on Sunday, his teams last game of the season. He needed help from a run scoring wild pitch to end the game which he won and put himself in the history books, 1-0.

Henderson Alvarez threw the 6th no hitter in Marlins history. He needed help from a run scoring wild pitch to end the game which he won and put himself in the history books, 1-0.
Hunter Pence brought the Giants back into the game with a 2 run single in the 7th then ended it with a walk off single in the 9th, polishing off a 7-6 win over the Padres.
Ubaldo Jimenez pitched into the 7th, giving up just one run and walking one while striking out 13. He led the Indians past the Twins, 5-1 and clinched a playoff spot for the Tribe.
Geovany Soto hit a tie breaking double in the 6th and smacked a home run for insurance in the 8th as the Rangers topped the Angels 6-2 and forced a tie breaker.

Tim Lincecum threw the second no hitter of the year, striking out 13 Padres along the way. He even walked and scored in his masterpiece as the Giants won 9-0.
A.J. Griffin shut down the first place Boston Red Sox with 8 shutout innings. The A’s were triumphant 3-0 in a possible playoff preview.
The Diamondbacks came back from a 4-1 hole to Milwaukee with an attack led by Didi Gregorius. He smacked a solo homer in the 6th to start the come back. He then drove in the tying tun with a single in the 7th. Arizona would go on to win, 5-4.
Lonnie Chisenhall‘s grand slam was the difference as the Cleveland Indians defeated the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, and moved to within 1 1/2 games of first place.

Look at that! A no hitter by someone other than Homer Bailey!
Tim Lincecum has done a lot in his relatively young career. But now he can add “no hitter” to a resume that includes “2 Cy Young Awards”, “World Series clincher” and “best pitcher who looks like he is 10 years old.”
Is this a turning point for the Giants?
Who knows?
