Diamondbacks Tyler Gilbert Pitched a No-Hitter in First Start

Rookie pitcher Tyler Gilbert pitched a no-hitter in his first start in Major League Baseball. He became the first pitcher in 68 years to do such a feat. Also, he blanked San Diego to help Arizona win 7-0.

It was the eighth no-hitter this year. According to sportsbook pay per head reports, it matched the league record achieved in 1884. Also, it was the first season that allowed overhand pitching. First, Gilbert struck out Trent Grisham and Kim Ha-Seong. Then, Tommy Pham lined out to close the ninth inning.

According to sportsbook PPH sources, Diamondbacks players rushed the pitcher’s mound to celebrate the no-hitter. Gilbert spent the last six seasons in the minor league. Also, the team selected him as part of the Rule 5 draft last winter.

Gilbert Pitched a No-Hitter

Aside from Gilbert, there are only three other MLB pitchers who threw a no-hitter in their first game. They are Ted Breitenstein, Bumpus Jones, and Bobo Holloman. But, according to pay per head experts, Gilbert can’t believe he achieved the feat.

According to pay per head experts, Gilbert tossed 102 pitches with 64 strikes. Also, his fastballs rarely went over 90 mph. However, he managed to punish the Padres with breaking pitches. His teammates also helped to defend against runs.

The rookie pitcher tried to tune out the noise throughout the game. However, he heard everything during the last frame. Gilbert (1-1) struck out five batters and walked two. The 6th pick from Southern California in 2015 had spent his whole career in the minors until being called up half a month prior. It was his fourth appearance in the majors.

Among those celebrating the first no-hitter at Arizona Diamondbacks’ home was the pitcher’s family. They were likewise close by for his relief appearance on August 3.

It was a shocking presentation for the Diamondbacks, who have the most exceedingly terrible record in the major alliances this season. It’s the third no-hitter in the team’s history and the first since Edwin Jackson achieved it on June 25, 2010.
