MLB's seventh no-hitter on the season. Ties the modern record for most no-hitters in a season. It's only June.
Amusing article on MLB.com - apparently none of the three relievers had any idea there was a no-hitter going on until after they left from the game:

Corbin Burnes now doing a thing to the Rockies. Through 5.
Seems like Garrett Richards was the only pitcher in baseball using Spider Tack.
edit…infield hit by Tapia breaks it up.

Now through 7, a very quick easy inning, pitch count certainly won't be a problem with this one.
I guess I'll quote myself from upthread: the last time that two less-than-nine inning no-hitters have happened in the same season was....1990, when Melido Perez threw a six-inning rain-shortened no-hitter and Andy Hawkins threw an eight-inning complete game no-hitter. Somehow, both games involved the White Sox winning and the Yankees losing, and somehow both games had Andy Hawkins as the losing pitcher.
The other post-deadball year with two shortened no-nos was 1959; that year, both no-no's were thrown (and won) by Giants' pitchers.
The all-time record for shortened no-nos in a season is four, which happened in 1907.

Sandoval was a Houston draft pick out of high school who they traded to the Angels for Martin Maldonado a few years ago. They also traded Laureano to the A's and Teoscar Hernandez to the Blue Jays, it's really incredible how much talent they stockpiled.

The only player to throw a no-hitter in his first big league start was Bumpus Jones, who did it in his major league debut with the Cincinnati Reds on Oct. 15, 1892.
EDIT: AP screwed up. Apparently it was done in 1953 by Bob Holloman of the St. Louis Browns....
