Back To Back No Hitters:Ted Lilly Back To Back No Hitters
Back To Back No Hitters:Ted Lilly Back To Back No Hitters – Ted Lilly attempted to take the back to back no hitters reign today and complete what Carlos Zambrano could not finish.
The left-hander nearly made it back-to-back no-hitters for the Cubs, flirting with a no-no vs. the Astros in 6-1 victory on Monday afternoon at Miller Park. Lilly gave up a single and a walk over seven innings, striking out nine. The one hit came with no outs in the seventh on a Mark Loretta single to shallow right field.
Back to back no hitters king is still Johnny Vander Meer.
• Johnny Vander Meer is the only pitcher in Major League history to throw no-hitters in consecutive appearances. The Reds left-hander threw his first vs. the Boston Bees on June 11, 1938, then followed it up on June 15 with another no-no vs. the Brooklyn Dodgers. Including his two starts before and after the no-hitters, Vander Meer pitched a total of 21 1/3 no-hit innings over four games.
