GAME OF THE DATE
Game 36 2001 - Marlins 3 Padres 0
Typically, when the batter in the ninth position makes the last out in a no-hitter, it’s a perfect game or one in which the starter faced the minimum 27 batters and caught up on outs via a double play or a caught stealing. Not this game.
A.J. Burnett faced 36 Padres batters, walked nine of them and broke Padres second-baseman Damian Jackson’s thumb by hitting him with a pitch, but held the team hitless for one of the sloppiest no-nos in modern-era Major League history. Burnett threw only 65 of 128 pitches for strikes.
The no-no marked the Marlins’ third in their brief nine-year history. It was one of two no-hitters tossed against the Padres in 2001.
