San Diego Padres fans had to wait 52 years for the franchise’s first no-hitter about 39 years too long, the way I see it.
On June 2, 1982,
Juan Eichelberger was credited with throwing a one-hitter in a 3-1 victory with neither team scoring an earned run over the Chicago Cubs on a windy Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Officially, the Cubs’ only hit was a single in the second inning.
Scot Thompson hit a ground ball between second and first that second baseman
Tim Flannery was unable to field cleanly.
The official scorer, Dave Nightingale, scored it a hit.

On this date in Texas Rangers history, the man who wrote the book, ‘Me and the Spitter’ easily bested the Boston Red Sox and continued to build his Hall of Fame credentials.
On May 5, 1980, Gaylord Perry threw a complete-game eight-hitter in defeating the Red Sox, 11-3. Perry struck out five and walked one. The day was a huge one at the plate for second baseman Bump Wills, who went 4-for-4 for the Rangers, scoring three runs. Third baseman Buddy Bell hit a double, a home run, and drove in three runs.
By this point, Perry was considered one of the game’s best pitchers. He had already become the first to win the Cy Young award in both leagues (with Cleveland in 1972 and with San Diego in 1978). Despite that, he was one of the most oft-traveled 300-game winners in MLB history, as he played for eight different teams in a 22-season career that saw him win 314 games.

On this date in Texas Rangers history, the Rangers won their fourth game in a row, all of which were by shutout.
The Rangers were trying to eke out a winning month when the Boston Red Sox came to Arlington Stadium for a three-game series. The Red Sox left town without scoring a single run.
Leading up to April 30, the Rangers beat the Red Sox, 10-0, on April 27; 9-0, on April 28; and 5-0, on April 29.
Doc Medich threw a complete-game eight-hitter for the Rangers on April 27, walking just one batter. Designated hitter Al Oliver had three hits, while third baseman Buddy Bell drove in three runs.
