A happy 47th birthday to Ramón Martínez, who threw a no-hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1995.

Martínez no-hit the Florida Marlins on July 14, 1995 for a 7-0 victory at Dodger Stadium. The 6-foot-4 right-handed fastballer struck out eight and walked just one, and he didn’t throw a single breaking ball after the third inning.

Ramón’s brother Pedro never got an official no-hitter, but Pedro did pitch nine perfect innings against the San Diego Padres a month earlier in 1995 before losing his no-no in extra innings.
