The first major accomplishment of the 2022 baseball season is in the history books, and it belongs to the Indianapolis Indians.
On Wednesday night, the Pirates Triple-A affiliate delivered the first no-hitter of either the MLB or MiLB calendar in a 5-0 road win against the St. Paul Saints.
Right-handers Chase De Jong, Austin Brice, and Yerry De Los Santos combined to silence the St. Paul bats and secure Indianapolis’ first no-hitter since 2012 and 15th in franchise history. Five of the 15 no-hitters have been combined.
Chase De Jong got the party started with seven hitless innings, walking two and striking out nine batters.
