Disastrous end to a no-hitter?

  Escrito el 9 de January del 2009 por rose.
  • In Major League Baseball, has a no-hitter ever ended in the ninth inning with a grand slam? How many times has one ended with a home run?


  • According to a posting by the Baseball Almanac editor on the Baseball Trivia message board, "Baseball Fever" http://www.baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?s=4d88df28db322b96a0515c02b9edbbf6&threadid=9017&highlight=no+hitter only one MLB "almost" no-hitter was spoiled with a homerun. It was not a grand slam. On April 20, 1990 Oakland Athletics batter Ken Phelps hit a home run to spoil a no-hitter by Seattle pitcher Brian Holman. The entire message follows. You'd probably also enjoy the rest of the discussion also. "Each of the following pitchers was as close to perfection as one could probably get, without actually achieving it. In other words, each pitcher below had a perfect game through eight innings, two outs in the ninth inning, then it came to end: Almost Perfect July 4, 1908: Hooks Wiltse New York Giants (versus the Philadelphia Phillies). George McQuillan was hit with a pitch, but ended the game with a 10-inning no-hitter. August 5, 1932: Tommy Bridges Detroit Tigers (versus the Washington Nationals). Dave Harris hit a single. June 27, 1958: Billy Pierce Chicago White Sox (versus the Washington Senatos). Ed Fitz Gerald hit a double. September 3, 1972: Milt Pappas Chicago Cubs (versus the San Diego Padres). Larry Stahl was walked, but Pappas ended the game with a no-hitter. April 15, 1983: Milt Wilcox Detroit (at and versus the Chicago White Sox). Jerry Hairston hit a single. May 2, 1988: Ron Robinson Cincinnati (versus the Montreal Expos). Wallace Johnson hit a single. August 4, 1989: Dave Stieb Toronto (versus the New York Yankees). Roberto Kelly hit a double. April 20, 1990: Brian Holman Seattle (versus the Oakland Athletics). Ken Phelps hit a home run. September 2, 2001: Mike Mussina New York Yankees (at and versus the Boston Red Sox). Carl Everett hit a single.

  • Superb. Thanks for the fast and thorough answer.


  • Actually this is a list of "perfect games" that were spoiled by hits. The list of "no hitters" spoiled in the ninth would be much larger. It seems though that you are satisfied with the answer given. If I happen to find the "no hitter" list I will post.

  • This is a list of no-hitters broken up in the ninth since 1961: http://stewthornley.net/lostninth.html


  • mccook -- May we assume that you are interested in no-hitters that are "spoiled" in the ninth inning by a home run by the opposing team, rather than games that are "ended" by a home run, presumably by the home team homering to go ahead in the bottom of the ninth inning? markj-ga
