The year of the pitcher continues in the MLB as Tampa Bay Rays starter Matt Garza threw the first no-no in Tampa Bay history. Garza's no-hitter was the first in franchise history and the fifth in the major leagues this season, as the Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 5-0 Monday night. The 26-year-old right-hander faced the minimum 27 batters in his 106th career start, allowing only a second-inning walk to Brennan Boesch. For the Rays, it is sweet redemption after being on the wrong side of two of the no-hitters this season alone. They didn't manage a hit Monday off starter Max Scherzer until Matt Joyce 's sixth-inning grand slam gave Garza all the support he would need. According to STATS LLC, the last time there were at least five no-hitters in a season was 1991, when Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan threw one of seven in the big leagues that year. It's only the third time in major league history that a team has been involved in three no-hitters during one season. The 1917 St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox were involved in three - all against each other. The no-no also marked the first time in 37 years that two no-hitters have occurred in the same AL ballpark in one season. After 1,006 games without a no-hitter at Tropicana Field, two have been tossed in the last 11 games at the dome. For Garza, it was his fourth straight win, tying a career best for victories. The Rays all mobbed Garza near the mound after a performance that left the New York Mets and San Diego Padres as the only big league teams without a no-hitter. For the Tigers, it was the first time they were no-hit since the Big Unit, Randy Johnson, shut them down at Seattle on June 2, 1990.
