The Cubs had the longest streak of avoiding a no-hitter dating back to 1965 until Cole Hamels got to them in 2015.
Every major league team has been no-hit at least one time, with the Texas Rangers becoming the league’s latest victim on May 19, 2021. The Chicago Cubs had gone nearly 50 years without falling victim to a no-hitter until the Philadelphia Phillies’ Cole Hamels zapped them in 2015. That leaves the Oakland Athletics with the longest streak of avoiding a no-hitter, having last been no-hit 29 years, 11 months, 5 days ago back in 1991.
