Yeah, 159 pitches is the most on record (for last 30 years) for a no-hitter

They struck out 12 and walked 6, so there's some pitches there.
But yeah, pretty exciting, especially for a Mets fan like myself. The first and only other no-hitter by a Met was Johan Santana's (134 pitches), and some believe he messed up his arm in the process. Pretty grateful Tyler Megill won't be messed up from the start.
Mets with the best record in the Majors with Yankees right behind them. Exciting times, especially if DeGrom comes back relatively soon.
