Yoshinobu Yamamoto almost had the first no-hitter of the 2025 season.

With only one out remaining in Saturday’s game between the Dodgers and the Orioles, Yamamoto surrendered a solo home run to shortstop Jackson Holliday, unfortunately ending his opportunity for a no-hitter.

Nevertheless, Yamamoto had a strong outing for Los Angeles, striking out 10 batters and walking two, over 8 ⅔ innings pitched.

There has not been a no-hitter in the MLB this season. The last time this was achieved was just over a year ago on September 4, 2024, when three Cubs pitchers combined their efforts to achieve a no-hitter against the Pirates.

The most recent individual no-hitter was thrown by Yamamoto’s teammate, Blake Snell, on August 2, 2024, when he held the Reds scoreless, back when he played for the Giants.

Baltimore ultimately ended up winning Saturday’s game, 4-3, on a walk-off single by Emmanuel Rivera.
