Arizona Diamondbacks Performance of the 2010s poll

Perhaps the most unlikely no-hitter in history began with Jackson walking SEVEN batters through three innings, including the bases loaded with no outs in the third. It took him 66 pitches to get the first out that inning. But Edwin buckled down, and kept posting zeroes. Mark Reynolds made a couple of key plays on defense, and Stephen Drew mopped up a grounder to finish off the no-hitter. It was the third time in less than a year that Tampa Bay were no-hit. But most remarkably of all, it took Jackson 149 pitches to throw the second no-hitter in franchise history (a sharper contrast to the other, Randy Johnson’s perfect game, is hard to imagine).
