Mets combined no-hitter

[D. Bergin]

Anybody know the most pitches thrown in a 9 inning no hitter?

Mets threw 159 pitches. Doubt it's the most...but has to be up there.

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.

BBR's pitch count only appears from 1988, but I'm sure one of Ryan's No-No's, perhaps the second one: a 17K, 4BB effort against the Tiger.


Speaking on unknown Ryan pitch counts, on 6/14/74, his line against the Red Sox was 13-8-3-3-10-19!

He struck out Cecil Cooper six times; walked in a run in the 4th; gave up a game-tying HR to Yas in the ninth.

The Angels won 4-3 in 15 innings, with the SHOULD-BE-HOFer, LUIS TIANT, JR. going the full distance and taking the loss.
