Jake Weimer and the unofficial Cincinnati Reds no-hitter

This weekend something weird happened. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves had a double header scheduled after a postponement. In 2021 that means that each game was scheduled as a 7-inning contest. Zac Gallen started the first game and he didn’t give up a hit until the 6th inning. There was some talk at the time it was happening about how it wouldn’t count as a no-hitter in the record books because Major League Baseball had decided that 7-inning no-hitters didn’t actually count. The single by Freddie Freeman with one out in the 6th inning put the debate to bed for now.
