On Sept. 6, Yoshinobu Yamamoto got just two strikes away from completing the first no-hitter of his MLB career. On Sept. 8, the Dodgers were just three outs away from completing a combined no-hitter off the back of seven almost-perfect innings from Tyler Glasnow. The next day, Emmet Sheehan took a perfect game into the sixth.
Apart from the heartbreak and embarrassment of the bullpen breakdown that came after Yamamoto and Tanner Scott continuing his villain arc by spoiling the combined no-hitter, the Dodgers' baffling, always foiled flirtations with no-nos brought up a weird quirk of the 2025 season.
