The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for July 13, 2013)




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?

But what I do know... it is time to update my list!

Earlier this month, the Giants were no hit in a game started by Lincecum. Giant fans prefer this.

Meanwhile, PetCo Park hosted its first ever no hitter.
Padres were victimized. They are still searching for their first no hitter.

You are still on the clock, San Diego
