Thu, 12 May 2022 16:38:49 -0400 Imagine getting to the Majors, imagine becoming a starting pitcher, then imagine throwing a no hitter in only your 11th career MLB game? That’s what happened to Los Angeles Angels left hander Reid Detmers.

Detmers threw 108 pitches and struck out only two batters on the way to a historic no hitter after the Angels schooled the Tampa Bay Rays 12-0. While not completely a dominating pitching performance, Detmers got a lot of help from the defense after throwing more than six innings for the first time in his career.

For Reid Detmers it was a night to remember, and he became a part of a select group, rookie pitchers to throw a no hitter. Here are the rest of the rookies to throw a perfect game.
