The Marlins came dangerously close to ending up on the wrong side of major league history on Sunday.
Miguel Rojas' two-out single in the seventh ended Clayton Richard's bid to become the first pitcher in San Diego Padres history to throw a no-hitter.
The result was a 3-1 loss for the Marlins. But at least they didn't land in the record books. The Padres, who have been around since 1969, remain the only active team in the majors that has never had a pitcher -- or combination of pitchers -- throw a no-hitter.
Richard (5-6) came tantalizingly close to ending the drought.
