The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for July 2, 2013)



Last season had a flurry of no hitters, ending with Homer Bailey's gem that eliminated the Pirates from contention.

This season has been filled with one near miss after another, including close calls from Yu Darvish and Anibal Sanchez.

When would the first no hitter of 2013 be thrown? 

I guess only Homer Bailey is allowed to throw no-nos now.

He threw a gem with only one walk against the punchless Giants and joined the likes of Roy Halladay and Mark Buehrle as a pitcher with multiple no hitters.

Here is the updated list.

The Padres are still looking for their first one. And it would be nice to simplify the list with the Nationals having a no hitter instead of including the Expos and Senators.

When will the NEXT no hitter be thrown?
Well when is Homer Bailey next scheduled to pitch?
