Edinson Volquez joined an exclusive club Saturday as the Marlins’ pitcher tossed the first no-hitter of his career.
The no-hitter was the sixth in the Marlins’ 25 seasons and first since Henderson Alvarez ended the 2013 regular season by beating the visiting Detroit Tigers 1-0.
The first no-hitter in Marlins history came on May 11, 1996, when Al Leiter — now a TV analyst — no-hit the Colorado Rockies.
Since then, Kevin Brown, A.J. Burnett, Anibal Sanchez, Alvarez and Volquez have followed. Four of the Marlins’ six no-hitters have come on home turf: Two at Joe Robbie/Dolphin Stadium and the past two at Marlins Park.
