Believe it or not, we're in a no-hitter drought. We've gone more than a year since Jake Arrieta's no-hitter last April, the longest span since Randy Johnson's perfect game in May 2004 and Anibal Sanchez's no-hitter in September 2006.
I was watching Dodgers-Rockies on Thursday night, but once the Rockies took a 7-0 lead, I flipped over to Pirates-Diamondbacks. Zack Greinke was doing some serious dealing, and as he rolled through six and then seven innings without a hit, it seemed like it was going to happen. David Peralta had made a diving catch in the first to help Greinke get to this point, but he had 10 strikeouts and an efficient 75 pitches through six innings, 11 K's and 90 pitches through seven.
