We’ve already had six official no-hitters in 2021, with the New York Yankees’ Corey Kluber no-hitting the Texas Rangers, the Detroit Tigers’ Spencer Turnbull no-hitting the Seattle Mariners, the Reds’ Wade Miley no-hitting the Cleveland Indians, the Orioles’ John Means also no-hitting the Mariners, the White Sox’s Carlos Rodón also no-hitting the Indians and Joe Musgrove also no-hitting the Rangers for the San Diego Padres’ first ever no-no. And then there was Madison Bumgarner’s 7-inning no-hit effort that’s not considered to be an official no-hitter. Here we list the 2021 no-hit bids that fell short of the finish line but reached at least the 7th inning, continuing a NoNoHitters.com tradition that began in 2015.
