Eighth no-hitter in Tigers history, and first since 2011. First time there had been five no-hitters thrown this early in a season since 1917. Mariners were no-hit at home for the second time in 13 days, the first team to do that since 1923. 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.
First time there had been six no-hitters thrown this early in a season. First time three teams were no-hit twice in the same season. First time five no-hitters were thrown on the road in the same season. 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.

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. 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. This is the only time on record that an extra-innings walk-off home run has broken up a no-hitter. Such games were recognized as no-hitters before 1991; however, MLB no longer recognizes such games, past or present, as no-hitters.
Johnny Vander Meer pitched the only consecutive no-hitters in MLB history. Three years to the day after Rodriguez joined the 500 club, he gained admission to an even more exclusive one. The 600 Home Run Club is one of Major League Baseball’s most exclusive lists, one that demands both massive yearly production and remarkable longevity in order to get in. Here is a quick look at the nine sluggers who belted at least 600 dingers. Only 3 players with 400 home runs are active as of October 6, 2022. Albert Pujols of the Cardinals has 703 , Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers has 507 , Nelson Cruz of the Nationals has 459 .
Player
Browning lost a perfect game in the ninth inning the next season, the closest any pitcher has come to throwing two perfect games. 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. MLB previously recognized no-hitters when the only hits allowed occurred in extra innings, until the rules were tightened in 1991.
While in modern baseball the home team always bats last, the visiting team sometimes batted last in the early days of professional baseball. A late bloomer, “Big Papi” didn’t emerge as a big-time power hitter until his late 20s when he was signed by Boston after an uneventful six years with the Twins. Ortiz led the league with 54 home runs in 2006 and will be remembered as one of the most popular Red Sox players of all time. McGwire’s home run heroics will never be fully appreciated by most baseball enthusiasts due to his alleged involvement with steroids, but his numbers are absolutely incredible.
Pirates were no-hit at home for the first time since 1886, when they were a member of the American Association. First no-hitter with both a Hall of Fame pitcher and catcher. Only run scored on an error with two outs in the ninth inning. The win gave the Yankees a share of the 1951 pennant, which they clinched outright in the second game. Benz took a no-hitter into the 9th inning two starts later. Dinneen would later be the home plate umpire for five no-hitters.
This year's Home Run Derby will feature eight players, six of whom have hit double-digit homers in the first half. The others are Ronald Acuña Jr. and the legendary Albert Pujols, who will be competing in the derby for the fifth time. Entering the 2022 event, Pete Alonso was already in a small circle of players with multiple Home Run Derby wins. With his victory at Coors Field last year, he became the fourth player in MLB history to win multiple titles.
Scherzer becomes the fifth pitcher to throw two no-hitters in the same season. 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.
First no-hitter by an Orioles pitcher since 1969, and the first on the road since 1912. Means faced the minimum 27 batters, the only base-runner coming on a dropped third strike with one out in the 3rd inning. This is the only known instance of a perfect game being broken up in such a way. Retired the last twenty-six batters in a row after a first-inning walk.
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. The winning run was scored in the bottom of the ninth inning.
From 1899 through 1917, Sam Crawford, the all time triples leader, set the Major League record for most in-the-park home runs with an amazing career total of fifty-one. Sosa soon became the only player with at least three 60-homer campaigns, and he was the first player born outside the U.S. to reach this club when he knocked No. 600 in his final year with the Rangers in 2007. The Say Hey Kid became the National League’s first member when he slugged No. 600 off pitcher Mike Corkins of the expansion Padres in 1969. It was the fifth and final pinch-hit homer Mays would hit in his career; 633 of the others came while he was stationed in center field.
