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.

The Nats Got a Parade, The Mets Want One and the White Sox are Lurking: Locked on MLB, November 4, 2019

The Nationals put an exclamation point on their 2019 with their World Series parade. The Mets are hoping that new manager Carlos Beltrán can lead them to the promise land.

Meanwhile the White Sox rebuilding process could make them interesting buyers in the free agent market.

The Padres have a new manager as they hope to do in the new decade what the Nationals just did. Lots of teams reversed their narratives in the 2010s. Who will do so in the 2020s?
