Kevin Brown, A.J. Burnett, Aníbal Sánchez, Henderson Alvarez and Edinson Vólquez were all among hurlers to throw no-hitters for the Florida/Miami Marlins. The first to do so, however, accomplished the feat on this day 25 years ago.
The Florida Marlins were going for a third win over the Colorado Rockies in as many night as the teams met at Joe Robbie Stadium on May 11, 1996. Not only did fans get to witness a Marlins’ victory, they got to witness history as Al Leiter pitched the first no-hitter in club history in an 11-0 win for Florida.
