Bumpus Jones also did it in his major league debut with the Cincinnati Reds on Oct. 15, 1892, and Theodore Breitenstein threw one in his first start for the Browns on Oct. 4, 1891.<\/p>\n<p>The eight no-hitters matched the mark set in 1884, the first year overhand pitching was allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert struck out Trent Grisham and Ha-Seong Kim in the ninth before Tommy Pham lined out to center fielder Ketel Marte.

He rarely delivered his fastball above 90 mph, but he effectively peppered the Padres with breaking pitches and leaned on his defense, which bailed him out on several hard-hit balls.<\/p>\n<p>Pavin Smith caught a liner from Adam Frazier and then stepped on first to double off Tommy Pham in the fourth. There was a line drive snagged by Gilbert off Eric Hosmer to end the fifth. Third baseman Drew Ellis made a diving catch in the seventh. David Peralta made a leaping grab at the wall on Austin Nola\u2019s long fly ball in the eighth.<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert needed just three pitches to get through the eighth, setting up a dramatic ninth. Marte caught the sinking line drive for the final out while running in from center field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to tune out as much as I could,\u201d Gilbert said. \u201cBut that last inning, I heard everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among those celebrating the first Diamondbacks\u2019 no-hitter at home was Gilbert\u2019s family. They were also on hand for his debut in relief on Aug. 3.<\/p>\n<p>Gilbert didn\u2019t play baseball in 2020 after the minor league season was wiped out by the pandemic. He spent the summer learning to be an electrician from his dad, making some extra money while occassionally crawling around attics and in between walls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d rather be doing this than pulling wires,\u201d Gilbert said with a grin. \u201cNo offense, Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a stunning performance for the Diamondbacks, who have the worst record in the big leagues this season. It\u2019s the third no-hitter in franchise history and first since Edwin Jackson on June 25, 2010. Second-year catcher Daulton Varsho caught Gilbert one night after hitting a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>-winning homer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Tyler-Gilbert-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=779\" alt=\"Tyler Gilbert hugs Daulton Varsho after completing his historic no-hitter.\" class=\"wp-image-19136095\" width=\"347\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Tyler-Gilbert-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=689 694w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Tyler-Gilbert-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=517 520w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Tyler-Gilbert-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=345 347w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Tyler-Gilbert-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=172 173w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Tyler-Gilbert-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\"\/><figcaption>Tyler Gilbert hugs Daulton Varsho after completing his historic no-hitter.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThat was so fun to do that tonight,\u201d Varsho said.Gilbert (1-1) struck out five and walked two. The sixth-round pick out of Southern California in 2015 had spent his entire career in the minor leagues until being called up a few weeks ago. He was making his fourth appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was weird, I wasn\u2019t nervous at all,\u201d Gilbert said. \u201cI felt like I should have been. I don\u2019t know why. I just kept going out there and doing my thing. I was really nervous before the game, leading up to the game. But after the three-pitch eighth inning, I was like, \u2018This is possibly going to happen.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Cubs threw the majors\u2019 most recent no-hitter with a combined effort June 24. The other no-hitters this year were thrown by San Diego\u2019s Joe Musgrove (April 9), Carlos Rod\u00f3n of the Chicago White Sox (April 14), Baltimore\u2019s John Means (May 5), Cincinnati\u2019s Wade Miley (May 7), Detroit\u2019s Spencer Turnbull (May 18) and the New York Yankees\u2019 Corey Kluber (May 19).<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Arizona\u2019s Madison Bumgarner pitched a seven-inning hitless game in a doubleheader on April 25 that is not recognized as a no-hitter by Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Most of those gems were thrown before MLB cracked down on the use of sticky foreign substances by pitchers in late June.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a brutal <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> for the Padres, who are struggling to keep up in the playoff race. San Diego still occupies the second NL wild-card spot but has fallen 10 games behind the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to tip the cap to Gilbert. It was obviously a special night for him,\u201d Padres manager Jayce Tingler said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been a part of two of them this year, and it\u2019s a lot funner being on the other side, that\u2019s for sure. Frustrating night. The balls we did hit hard were right at guys or they made really good plays or fly balls were on the track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Diamondbacks jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning off Musgrove (8-8), who needed 39 pitches to slog through nine batters. Josh VanMeter doubled to leadoff the game and Marte brought him home with another double.<\/p>\n<p>David Peralta had an RBI single and then the 25-year-old Ellis had the big blow when he smacked Musgrove\u2019s hanging breaking ball into the left field seats.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
