Last season, dubbed the "Year of the Pitcher," produced six no-hitters and two perfect games, the most in one season since 1880. Runs, hits, and home runs per game were at their lowest levels in nearly 20 years. This season, pitchers have picked up where they left off in 2010. Through May 3, according to Stats Inc., teams were scoring 4.29 runs per game, the lowest number since 1992. This number also outpaces the 4.55 runs-per-game mark set through May 3 of last season.
Here are some No-No's that have been thrown thus far this season:
Before he tossed a no-hitter on July 27, Angels starter Ervin Santana had never beaten the Indians.
Teammates rush out to celebrate with Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander after he threw a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, May 7, 2011.
Liriano was a little wild on May 3, walking six and striking out only two, but he made the big pitches when he needed them on the way to a 1-0 no-hitter vs. the White Sox.
