It’s a marvelous night for a no-no.
April 27 is one of four days sharing the record for most no-hitters with six. The others are May 15, September 20 and September 28.
Here are the no-hitters thrown on April 27:
| 1 | Jim Tobin |

The May 15 crew includes Claude Hendrix, Clyde Shoun, Virgil Trucks, Don Cardwell, Nolan Ryan and Len Barker. Sept. 20 was kind to Larry Corcoran, Jimmy “Nixey” Callahan, Nick Maddox, Frank Smith, Hoyt Wilhelm and Bob Moose.
Jordan Zimmermann’s no-hitter thrown on the final game of 2014 added September 28 to the list, with Ed Cushman, Allie Reynolds, Ryan, an Oakland A’s tandem (Vida Blue 5, Glenn Abbott 1, Paul Lindblad 1 and Rollie Fingers 2) and Homer Bailey joining Zimmermann.
With that hit Ortega single, April 27 loses the chance to take sole possession of the no-no lead. Still tied with 6 https://t.co/UztHYYv4Xd
