Another no hitter last night
 

In San Diego last night, starting with the sixth inning :

Buehler didn't give up a hit in the 6th, or his part of the 7th.
Kelly finished the 7th without allowing a hit
Treinen pitched a hitless 8th
Jansen threw a hitless 9th
Vesia followed with a hitless 10th
Bickford wasn't to be out done with a hitless 11th
Bruihl got in on the fun with a hitless 12th
Graterol continued the streak with two hitless in the 13th and 14th

All told, the Padres made 30 outs between their 5th and 15th inning hits.

What a great game, and one of the rare games that I could watch on TV, so good timing.

Very interesting! I didn't read any of the articles that said the game was wild. I just celebrated that the Padres lost. Go Reds for wild card #2.

So do 8 pitchers get credited with a no no?

The game wasn't a no-hitter...it's just that there was nine-inning stretch within the game where the Padres did not get a hit. I believe it was also the longest game (by innings) since the runner-on-second rule was instituted.

Thanks for the clarification, although it's a bit sad to see grown ass professional men play with a rule that I haven't seen since I coached little league.

All I know is I watched 9 consecutive inning without a hit, and in MY mind (which is both a weird and a wonderful place) THAT is a no hitter.

You can call it an avocado for all I care, but I saw a no hitter, which arguably would have been even better had the Dodgers lost. With a tip of my cap to Jim Maloney.

And yes, the longest previous game since the runner started getting placed on second base in extras was 13 innings.

Fantastic and forever

Well, I can't argue with what happens in someone's mind. In my mind, Hank Aaron is still the all-time home run leader and Armando Galarraga pitched a perfect game, but MLB disagrees. I was just clarifying what happened in the game...we can call it anything we want but MLB is not going to call it a no-hitter when there were hits in the game (oh...and in my mind Madison Bumgarner's complete game, 7 inning shutout in which he didn't allow any hits is a no-hitter as well...it's not his fault it was a scheduled 7 inning game).

But whatever we call it, the game was definitely a 1 of 1.
