For the second time in three days, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost a no-hit bid in the ninth inning. On Monday night, multiple Dodgers pitchers combined to get within three outs of the first no-no of the 2025 Major League Baseball season as part of a 3-1 win against the Colorado Rockies (box score). Alas, the no-hit bid was broken up by Rockies infielder Ryan Ritter, who doubled to left field off Dodgers closer Tanner Scott to open the top of the ninth inning.
Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow shone in Monday’s contest, delivering seven no-hit innings with 11 strikeouts against 23 batters faced, and issuing two walks. Glasnow did allow a run, with Kyle Farmer lifting a sacrifice fly to give the Rockies a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Reliever Blake Treinen stepped in for Glasnow to begin the eighth inning, with Scott taking the mound to start the ninth.
Here’s a recap of the longest no-hit bids in the majors this season. The league is on track to experience its first season without a no-hitter since 2005 if no one completes one in the final three weeks of the season.
| Date | Pitcher(s) | Team | Opponent | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 6 | Yoshinobu Yamamoto | Dodgers | Orioles | 8.2 |
| Aug. 6 | Gavin Williams | Guardians | Mets | 8.1 |
| Sept. 9 | Glasnow, Treinen | Dodgers | Rockies | 8 |
| June 27 | Nick Martinez | Reds | Padres | 8 |
Glasnow, 32, has pitched 14 times this season, posting a 3.41 ERA (123 ERA+) and a 2.53 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 68 ⅔ innings. His pitch count of 105 on Monday night was the second-highest for him this season, just shy of the 106 he threw on July 23 against the Minnesota Twins.
The Dodgers had another near-miss on Saturday, as Yoshinobu Yamamoto came within an out of securing a no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles; his no-hit attempt was thwarted by a Jackson Holliday home run that dashed the Orioles’ hopes, leading them to a comeback win.
Monday’s game would have marked the Dodgers’ 28th no-hitter in franchise history, extending their record of 27 no-hitters in the major leagues, surpassing only the Chicago White Sox which has managed 20. The Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, and Chicago Cubs each hold 18 in total.
The last no-hitter in MLB occurred on September 4, 2024, pitched by three Cubs pitchers, including lefty Shota Imanaga, against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In contrast, the last no-hitter for the Dodgers was on May 4, 2018, when Walker Buehler and three relievers shut out the San Diego Padres.
