Ryan Throws Fourth No-Hitter Tying Koufax
Nolan Ryan matched Sandy Koufax with his fourth no-hitter in a 1-0 win over the Orioles. The California Angels ace, 28, used a mix of fastball changeup and curve to silence Baltimore, tying the major league record for career no-hitters. Ryan improved to 100-85 with 96 strikeouts on the season as he closed out the game with a ninth inning changeup that froze Bobby Grich.
