Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert throws no-hitter in first career start; sets new single-season MLB record
Arizona Diamondbacks rookie left-hander Tyler Gilbert no-hit the San Diego Padres on Saturday night, making big-league history on an individual and league-wide basis as part of a 7-0 blowout victory. Gilbert, 27, was making his first career start and just his fourth career appearance in the majors. Nevertheless, he became the fourth pitcher to ever toss a no-no in start No. 1, joining Theodore Breitenstein (1891), Bumpus Jones (1892), and Bob Holloman (1953), according to research conducted by MLB.com's Sarah Langs.

Additionally, Gilbert's no-hitter was the eighth in the 2021 Major League Baseball regular season, setting a new record. The most no-hitters thrown in a single season in modern times had previously been seven, a mark that was reached most recently in 2015. Eight, then, ties the all-time record, which was set in 1884. (Do note that seven-inning no-hitters are not included, as MLB does not consider them to be official no-nos.)
that has to be a wild experience ... congrats to him

No nos will probably continue to rise as hitters either strike out or jack one. Pretty pathetic, the amount of strikeouts in a game.
