The Most Recent No Hitter For Each Franchise (Updated for Lucas Giolito, August 25, 2020)

NBC Sports Chicago

IF A PITCHER THROWS A NO HITTER AND NOBODY IS THERE TO SEE IT…

Lucas Giolito threw the first no no of this strange season. And thankfully it was an old fashioned 9 inning no hitter and not one where we had to debate if a 7 inning no no should count. This is the White Sox’s first no hitter since the out of nowhere perfect game by Phillip Humber in 2012. Safe to say Giolito was a good pick up by the White Sox front office.

Now to update the list.
