The Flirters
Plenty of deep bids since 2015, and not one finished.
The Tampa Bay Rays have thrown one no-hitter and been no-hit six times, a record that includes their years as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (1998 to 2007). It was thrown by Matt Garza on July 26, 2010; the club was last no-hit by the Angels on May 10, 2022. Three of the six they have suffered were perfect: Mark Buehrle (White Sox, 2009), Dallas Braden (Oakland Athletics, 2010), and Félix Hernández (Mariners, 2012).
