Pitched First Career No-Hitter Scherzer, as a member of the Washington Nationals, threw MLB’s 289th no-hitter. Playing against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 20, 2015, he set down the first 26 batters he faced before hitting pinch hitter Jose Tabata with a pitch, sending him to first base. Tabata was the second of only two batters to see a base (the other runner reached as a result of a walk) as he set down the next batter he faced (Josh Harrison) to complete the no-hitter. For the game, Scherzer struck out 10 batters, gave up a walk, and recorded the complete game victory as the Nationals beat the Pirates 6–0.

Scherzer recovers from hitting a Pittsburgh batter in the top of the ninth on his way to completing his first career no-hitter.
