What is up with MLB pitching this
season?
We are a little over 2 months in
to the season and there have been five no-hitters thrown, including two perfect
games. There have been 3 No-hitters thrown in June alone.
Matt Cain shut down the Astros today,
throwing the first no-hitter for the Giants since 2009 and first perfect game
ever for the team. He threw 125 pitches, 86 for strikes, and ended with 14
strike outs. Cain has come close twice already this year with a one-hitter on
April 13th against the Pirates and then a week later threw a
two-hitter through 9 innings against the Phillies.
I jinxed the Spurs when I asked if
anyone could stop them back in May, hopefully Cain doesn’t end up on the IR now
that I brought him up.

From 1998 to 2000 were a total of only 4 no hitters.
