When their bids die, they die late.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have thrown 26 no-hitters and been no-hit 20 times, a record that includes their years as the Brooklyn Dodgers (through 1957). The most recent was a combined no-hitter by Walker Buehler and three relievers on May 4, 2018; the club was last no-hit by the Cubs on June 24, 2021. One of the 26 was a perfect game, by Sandy Koufax in 1965.
