When was the brewers last no hitter

The Brewers improved to a franchise-record 33 games over. Most of those gems were thrown before MLB cracked down on the use of sticky foreign substances by pitchers in late June. The Brewers completed this bit of history three days after Minnesota rookie Joe Ryan retired the first 19 Indians batters in a win at Progressive Field. Prior to Saturday, Jim Perry was the only starter in baseball history to have his opponent throw a no-hitter three times in a career prior to Saturday, per Elias.

Plesac allowed three runs, two earned, over six innings. Straw had faced Burnes in the minor leagues but admitted he had little chance against him on this late summer evening. You just have to tip your cap, come back tomorrow and compete again.

Counsell said he did it in the event Burnes had a crazy low pitch count in the eighth that allowed more leeway for the ninth. In other words, the Brewers have the World Series on their minds in what has been an unexpectedly great season for the team. The victory put them 33 games over. It also lowered their magic number to seven for clinching the division crown with 19 games remaining.

Pitching is everything in October and this is the best staff the Brewers have had in their plus years of existence, from top to bottom. That includes the trio spearheading a deep rotation as well as a stout bullpen with the ultra-reliable Hader there for the final outs.

It was just one more chapter in what has been a remarkable and historic season for Burnes. It began with him setting a major-league record by striking out 58 hitters before issuing his first walk of the season. Burnes put his name in baseball annals again in Chicago on Aug. Some of his statistics are historical in baseball; the walks to the strikeouts is absolutely incredible. The record for most no-hitters thrown in a given year was eight, which was set in Before this year, the most no-hitters in any modern-era season since was seven on four different occasions according to MLB.

Two other games this season featured no-hitters yet did not officially count due to only seven innings played as part of a doubleheader. It was a masterpiece. I think it was a good conversation. He was adamant about going out there for the eighth inning, and I completely understood that.

He wanted to go out there, for sure, but I think he also understood.
