We are fast approaching the fourth anniversary of Edinson Vólquez’s no-hitter (June 3, 2017 against the Diamondbacks). Based on historical trends, the Marlins are due to throw another no-no—there were six of them within the franchise’s first 25 seasons—or at least be on the opposite end of one.
The unprecedented frequency of no-hitters has been a major storyline through the early portion of the 2021 season. There have been six of them completed in traditional nine-inning games, plus Madison Bumgarner’s “notable achievement” during a doubleheader.
Through their first 50 games, the Marlins have not been involved in any serious no-hit threats.
