Speaking of, hasn't been a no hitter thrown lately, has there? Last one I remember was Derek Lowe a few years ago for Boston...

 

[TennFan]

They are few and far between anymore. I know the Braves had at least 2 pitchers who combined for a no hitter against the Reds a few years ago.

Yeah, speaking of combined no hitters, I remember the Astros using 3 or 4 pitchers to no hit the Yankees in the Bronx a couple years ago.
