In a stadium that just opened last year and where the Rays-Dodgers World Series was played, right-handed Joe Musgrove made history again in that building, but especially in the organization of the San Diego Padreswhen the first no-hitter, no-run game in history of the team and is also the first in the 2021 MLB season.
28-year-old Musgrove doubled up on the local Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field, attracting 27,575 fans. The righthanded man born in El Cajon, California pitched all nine innings and struckout 10 batters for the Texans, who couldn’t even beat hands and looked like tame lambs:
Joe Musgrove, 1.96 meters, faced 28 batters and made 112 pitches (77 strokes). He retired 10 on a grounder to the infield and only three on a flyout. A pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning to right fielder Joey Gallo robbed Musgrove a perfect game. Gallo was the only one to reach base in the game for Rangers.
Anderson Tejeda was Musgrove’s main customer with three strikeouts; They were followed by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Gallo, Nate Lowe, Nick Solak, Ronald Guzmán, Jose Treviño and Eli White. Only pinch-hitter David Dahl and Cuban ninth batter Leody Taveras did not strikeout.
