Per the Elias Sports Bureau, a no-hitter needs to be at least nine innings in order to be official. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t seen performances of fewer than nine innings where a pitcher completed a game due to weather, or games that were scheduled to be shorter that were hitless.
There have been 26 such performances on record (since 1901), including Madison Bumgarner’s seven-inning outing against the Braves in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday.
Here’s a look at all 26 of those games.
Welcome to the relaunched This Day in
Yankees History. The New Year is upon us, and the winter hot stove continues to percolate. That being said, the Yankees seem to have made their big moves in DJ LeMahieu and Corey Kluber, so that gives us more time to dig into the history books. These daily posts will highlight two or three key moments in Yankees history on a given date, as well as recognize players born on the day. Hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane with us!
