The Arizona Diamondbacks’ Madison Bumgarner pitched a seven-inning no-hitter in the second game of a double-header against the Atlanta Braves Sunday, but the 7-0 win won’t be officially recorded as a “no-hitter.”

That’s because a no-hitter has to be a game of nine or more innings, and Major League Baseball switched to seven-inning doubleheaders during the pandemic last year, and have kept it for this season.

Bumgarner struck out seven, and only one Braves batter reached base, on a shortstop throwing error. Bumgarner’s gem was the second great pitching performance by Arizona Sunday, after Zac Gallen threw a one-hitter in the Diamondbacks’ 5-0 win in the opening game. 

 

A's Winning Streak Ends

The Oakland A’s winning streak ended at 13 games Sunday, as they lost to the Baltimore Orioles 8-1. It was the A’s third-longest win streak since moving to Oakland in 1968, and MLB’s longest since the Cleveland Indians won 22 straight in 2017.
