September-28calIn the past five days, six pitchers have reached the fifth inning or later with a no-hitter intact. History tells us that there’s a good chance one will go even deeper tonight.

September 28 is one of four dates sharing the record for most no-hitters with six. The others are April 27, May 15 and September 20. The date pulled into a four-way tie on the final game of the 2014 season, when the Washington Nationals’ Jordan Zimmermann no-hit the Miami Marlins.
