Edinson Volquez of the Miami Marlins pitched the first no-hitter in the major leagues in more than a year Saturday, and although it wasn’t a perfect game, thanks to two double plays, he faced the minimum 27 batters in a 3-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Volquez is the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter that wasn’t a perfect game to face the minimum number of batters since
What turned out to be a key moment came in the fourth inning. Paul Goldschmidt reached base on an apparent infield single, but the call was overturned upon a manager’s challenge -- keeping the no-hitter intact.
