The New York Mets have never had a no hitter, but Mets pitchers have reached the fifth inning without yielding a hit 267 times during the team’s 49+ years of existence.
Most recently, Dillon Gee reached the fifth inning July 9, 2011 when David Freese broke it up with an infield hit up the middle that likely would have been a double play had Gee not touched it with his glove.
Here’s the statistical breakdown of the Mets deepest failed no-nos:
- 159 potential Mets no-hitters were broken up in the fifth
- 68 potential Mets no-hitters were broken up in the sixth
- 22 potential Mets no-hitters were broken up in the seventh
- 15 potential Mets no-hitters were broken up in the eighth
- 3 potential Mets no-hitters were broken up in the ninth

the site is hilarious but your math doesn’t add up! 157+67+22+15+3=264 times that no-nos had been broken up, not 263 like it says at the top of the page. good luck.
Thanks. We had forgotten to update the total after Gee’s long stretch.
“Most recently, David Gee in his major league debut reached the sixth inning Sept. 7, 2010 when Willie Harris broke it up with homer.”
Is that a typo, or is there a reason I’m missing for calling Dillon Gee “David”?
Yep, that’s a typo. Thanks.
