Does the 18-hit differential between the two teams constitute the most ever in a no-hitter? It seems like it ties the Cubs with Arrieta’s second no-no, but I haven’t found one with more.
In the modern era, yeah. But in Buffalo Bisons pitcher Pud Galvin’s 18-0 no-hitter against the Detroit Wolverines in 1884, the Bisons notched 22 hits.
