Ted Breitenstein and Jim Hughes threw a no-hitter on April 22, 1898, and Dave Stewart and Fernando Valenzuela threw a no-hitter on June 29, 1990. Major league pitchers threw eight no-hitters during the 1884 season. Seven no-hitters have been pitched in the modern period (since 1901): in 1990, 1991, 2012, and 2015. The most recent no-hitter was thrown by Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs. The first no-hitter in the history of baseball was thrown 91 years ago today, on April 22, 1898. Ted Breitenstein of the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 1-0 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati. Jim Hughes is credited with the first perfect game when he retired the only batter he faced in a 7-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on August 5, 1895. However, this has been disputed since 1998 when John Tudor of the Colorado Rockies achieved this feat against the San Diego Padres at Coors Field. In 2004, Curt Schilling of the Boston Red Sox became the first pitcher to no-hit the Tampa Bay Devil Rays during their inaugural season. Schilling accomplished this one-hit victory on May 31, 2004, at Fenway Park. The only baserunner he allowed was Yunel Escobar who scored on an error by third base coach Joe Corvo. In fact, it was the only run of the game for the Red Sox as they beat the Devil Rays 1-0.
