Scherzer second in franchise to toss 2 no-hitters

With his second no-hitter of the season Saturday against the Mets, Nationals ace Max Scherzer joined Bill Stoneman as the only pitchers to throw multiple no-no's with the franchise.

Stoneman's career lasted only eight years, but in that time he threw two no-hitters to become a permanent part of the Montreal Expos' record books.

There were only four no-hitters thrown by Expos pitchers: Stoneman's two, one by Charlie Lea in 1981, and a perfect game by Dennis Martinez in 1991.

The Nationals kept the team's history after moving to Washington in 2005, and they had a no-hitter thrown by Jordan Zimmermann in 2014, to go along with Scherzer's two in '15.
