"I dedicated this game to Jose Fernandez and Yordano Ventura," Volquez said after the game, per Adrian Garro of MLB.com.
Volquez needed just 98 pitches to complete his masterpiece, finishing with 10 strikeouts and two walks. Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs threw the last no-hitter prior to Saturday, a 16-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on April 21, 2016.
