This is a list of no-hitters in Major League Baseball history. In addition, all no-hitters that were broken up in extra innings or were in shortened games are listed, although they are not currently considered official no-hitters. (Prior to 1991, a performance in which no hits were surrendered through nine innings or in a shortened game was considered an official no-hit game.) The names of those pitchers who threw a perfect game no-hitter are italicized. For combined no-hitters by two or more pitchers on the same team, each is listed with his number of innings pitched. Games which were part of a doubleheader are noted as either the first game or second game. The most recent no-hitter was pitched by Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals on October 3, 2015.
An official no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits during the entire course of a game, which consists of at least nine innings thrown by the pitcher(s). In a no-hit game, a batter may still reach base via a walk, an error, a fielder's choice, a hit by pitch, a passed ball or wild pitch on strike three, or catcher's interference.[1] Also, due to these methods of reaching base, it is possible for a team to score runs without getting any hits.
While the vast majority of no-hitters are shutouts, no-hit teams have managed to score runs in their respective games a number of times, but only twice has a team been no-hit and still won the game: the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Houston Colt .45s (now called the Houston Astros) 1–0 on April 23, 1964 even though they were no-hit by Houston starter Ken Johnson, MAand the Detroit Tigers defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2–1 on April 30, 1967 even though they were no-hit by Baltimore starter Steve Barber and reliever Stu Miller. In another four games, the home team won despite gaining no hits through eight innings, but these are near no-hitters under the 1991 rule that nine no-hit innings must be completed in order for a no-hitter to be credited.
The pitcher who holds the record for the shortest time between no-hitters is Johnny Vander Meer, the only pitcher in history to throw no-hitters in consecutive starts, while playing for the Cincinnati Reds in 1938. Besides Vander Meer, Allie Reynolds (in 1951), Virgil Trucks (in 1952), Nolan Ryan (in 1973), and Max Scherzer (in 2015) are the only other major leaguers to throw two no-hitters in the same regular season. Jim Maloney technically threw two no-hitters in the 1965 season, but his first one ended after he allowed a home run in the top of the 11th inning. According to the rules interpretation of the time, this was considered a no-hitter. Later that season, Maloney threw a more traditional nine-inning no-hitter. Roy Halladay threw two no-hitters in 2010: a perfect game during the regular season and a no-hitter in the 2010 National League Division Series. He is the only major leaguer to have thrown no-hitters in regular season and postseason play.
The first black pitcher to toss a no-hitter was Sam Jones who did it for the Chicago Cubs in 1955. The first Latin pitcher was San Francisco Giant Juan Marichal in 1963.
Through October 3, 2015, there have been 294 no-hitters officially recognized by Major League Baseball, 251 of them in the modern era (starting in 1901, with the formation of the American League). Joe Borden’s no-hitter in 1875 is also noted, but is not recognized by Major League Baseball (see note in the chart).[notes 1]

Near no-hitters[edit]
Regulation games in which a pitcher or staff pitches less than nine full innings, or in which a hit is allowed in extra innings, do not qualify as no-hitters. However, before the rules were tightened in 1991, such games did count as official no-hitters.
Regulation no-hit losses ending in the middle of the ninth[edit]
Due to the fact that the home team does not bat in the bottom of the ninth inning if they are leading after the top, a visiting pitcher (or pitchers) may complete a full game without allowing a hit but not be credited with an official no-hitter. If the visiting team allows a sufficient amount of runs for the home team to win after the top of the ninth, whether by walks, errors, or anything else not involving hits, the pitcher(s) will not be credited with an official no-hitter because they only pitched 8 innings (though such no-hitters were counted before 1991). This has happened only four times in major-league history.[70][71]
Interleague play[edit]
- June 28, 2008 – Jered Weaver (6 inn.) and José Arredondo (2 inn.), Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 0, Los Angeles Dodgers 1

Shortened games[edit]
Under certain circumstances, if a game cannot continue because of the weather, darkness, or any other reason, but if at least 5 innings have been completed, the game can count as an officially completed game. No-hitters pitched under such circumstances were counted before 1991, but no longer count as official no-hitters because 9 innings were not completed. Pitchers listed in bold signify the pitcher was pitching a perfect game until the game was shortened. These games do not count as official perfect games.

It was the first no-hitter to end in walk-off fashion since Cordova/Rincon in 1997. It was also the first no hitter thrown on the last day of the regular season since Mike Witt's perfect game on September 30, 1984.
- ^ Twenty-fourth no-hitter in Dodgers franchise history and the second thrown at Citizens Bank Park. Beckett fanned six and walked three on his one hundred twenty eight pitch outing. In the ninth inning, he struck out Chase Utley to secure the victory.
- ^ Rockies' only baserunner came on a throwing error in the seventh. Kershaw became the first MLB pitcher ever with 15 strikeouts without allowing a single hit or walk. It was also the 3rd no-hitter by a reigning Cy Young Award winner, following Sandy Koufax (1963 CY, 1964 NH) and Bob Gibson (1970 CY, 1971 NH).
- ^ Lincecum's second no-hitter in less than a year. Lincecum became the second pitcher all-time, after Addie Joss, to no-hit the same team twice.
- ^ Hamels threw 108 pitches in 6 innings.
- ^ First no-hitter for the Washington Nationals since the team moved to Washington, and the first by any Washington pitcher since Bobby Burke in 1931. This was the final game for both teams for the 2014 season, and it was the second year in a row in which a no-hitter had been thrown on the final day of the regular season. Henderson Alvarez, who had thrown Miami's no-hitter on the final day of the 2013 season, was the losing pitcher in this game.
- ^ Seventeenth no-hitter in Giants franchise history, and the second no-hitter thrown at Citi Field. Heston was the 22nd rookie pitcher to throw a no-hitter. He did not walk a batter, but he hit three of them, joining Wiltse in 1908 and Brown in 1997 as no-hitter pitchers whose only baserunners came on hit batsmen. Heston's is the first such game to feature more than one hit by pitch.
- ^ Scherzer was perfect through 8 2/3 innings when he hit pinch-hitter José Tábata to allow the Pirates' only baserunner of the game. Fourth no-hitter pitcher after Wiltse, Brown, and Heston to only allow their baserunners on hit batsmen, and the second after Wiltse to lose a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning on a hit batsman. Scherzer threw a one-hitter, having been perfect for 6 innings, in his previous start, and was perfect through 5 in his next start after this no-hitter.
- ^ Fifth pitcher, after Blue, Witt, Mercker, and Millwood, to pitch a complete game no-hitter as well as contribute to a combined no-hitter. Kris Bryant flew out to Odubel Herrera, who tripped after losing the ball in the sun, on a full count for the final out. This was also the first time that the Cubs were no-hit since Sandy Koufax's perfect game in 1965, and the first no-hitter thrown at Wrigley Field since 1972.
- ^ Second Japanese pitcher to throw a Major League no-hitter, after Hideo Nomo. First no-hitter in an American League game since teammate Félix Hernández's perfect game almost exactly three years prior, breaking a string of 12 consecutive NL no-hitters.
- ^ Eleventh no-hitter in Astros history, and the first no-hitter for the Astros as an American League team. This was also the first complete-game no-hitter by an Astros pitcher in 22 years.
- ^ Fourteenth no-hitter in Cubs history. Dodgers no-hit for the second time in 9 days; this is the shortest interval since the 1923 Philadelphia Athletics and the first time a team were no-hit twice in one calendar month since the 1971 Cincinnati Reds.
- ^ Second game of a doubleheader. Scherzer's second no-hitter of the season; both of which also featured no walks. Scherzer was perfect through 5 innings before an error by 3B Yunel Escobar. Scherzer's 17 strikeouts tied Nolan Ryan's record for most in a no-hitter and included 9 straight. Second highest game score ever for a nine-inning game, with 104, following Kerry Wood's 1998 one-hit complete-game shutout. Scherzer becomes the fifth pitcher to throw two no-hitters in the same season.
