2021 has been the year of the pitcher across Major League Baseball, with no-hitters arriving at a startling frequency in recent weeks.
There have been six no-hitters thrown this season as of Thursday morning, including four in the month of May. Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull shut down the Mariners en route to a no-hitter on Tuesday. One night later, Yankees pitcher Corey Kluber pitched the first one for the franchise in the new millennium. And while fans may be enjoying the increasing trend of no-hitters, the recent wave doesn't quite sit right with Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw.
