As we hit the No. 24 spot in our NoNoHitters 30 countdown today, we finally reach teams that have thrown more than one no-hitter.
The Arizona Diamonbacks, which began play in the National League in 1998, have thrown two no-hitters. Randy Johnson is the only pitcher to throw the first no-hitter for two different franchises – the Seattle Mariners in 1990 and the D-Backs in 2004. His Arizona no-no was a perfect game, thrown at the age of 40.
Edwin Jackson had the D-Backs’ second no-no during an interleague game in 2010.
Here are the Diamondbacks’ no-nos:
| 1 | Randy Johnson |
|---|---|
| Arizona Diamondbacks (NL) | |
| Tuesday, May 18, 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks 2, Atlanta Braves 0 Turner Field (Atlanta) (Perfect game, his second of two no-hitters; Johnson at age 40 becomes the oldest pitcher in major league history to hurl a perfect game. It’s the Diamondbacks’ first no-hitter.) |
|
| 2 | Edwin Jackson |
| Arizona Diamondbacks (NL team in IL game) | |
| Friday, June 25, 2010 Arizona Diamondbacks 1, Tampa Bay Rays 0 Tropicana Field (St. Petersburg) |
