The Flirters
Plenty of deep bids since 2015, and not one finished.
The Atlanta Braves have thrown 15 no-hitters and been no-hit 17 times, a record that includes their years as the Boston Braves (through 1952) and the Milwaukee Braves (1953 to 1965). The most recent was thrown by Kent Mercker on April 8, 1994; the club was last no-hit by the Phillies on September 1, 2014. One of the 17 they have suffered was a perfect game, by Randy Johnson of the Diamondbacks in 2004.
