This Day In Dodgers History: Hideo Nomo Throws No-Hitter At Coors Field

On Sept. 17, 1996, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hideo Nomo braved the elements and defied the odds to throw a no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The no-no was one of two Nomo tossed during his 12-year career.

The second came in 2001 when Nomo, then with the Boston Red Sox, threw the first no-hitter in Camden Yards history. Nomo’s historic game with the Dodgers came with the club locked in a pennant race, and was the 20th no-hitter in franchise history.

He was provided ample run support, with Eric Karros, Raul Mondesi and Tim Wallach combining for five RBI.
