Tyler Gilbert Throws No-Hitter in First Major League Start

Move over, Bobo Holloman, You've got some company.

Diamondbacks rookie Tyler Gilbert made history Saturday night by throwing a no-hitter in his first-ever Major League start. He's the first player since Holloman in 1953 to pull off that feat, and the fourth all-time. The other two both occurred in the 19th century: Ted Breitenstein in 1891 and Bumpus Jones in 1892.

Gilbert used 102 pitches to record 5 strikeouts on just 3 walks. He needed just three pitches to get through the eighth inning. The Diamondbacks won, 7-0.

Gilbert, 27, has pitched three times this season, all in relief.
