Blake Snell no-hit the Reds on Friday night for the 18th in franchise history and the first since 2015. Here are the 10 since the Giants moved west from New York to San Francisco:
June 15, 1963: Juan Marichal vs. Houston Colt .45s
The Giants won 1-0 over Houston as Marichal struck out five, walking two. Chuck Hiller drove in San Francisco’s only run in the bottom of the eighth and Marchal finished it off in the ninth.
Sept. 17, 1968: Gaylord Perry vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Perry outdueled Bob Gibson in a 1-0 win, issuing two walks and striking out five. Ron Hunt’s first-inning home run was the difference. The very next day, Ray Washburn of the Cardinals no-hit the Giants.
Aug. 24, 1975: Ed Halicki vs. New York Mets
The Giants beat the Mets 6-0 in the second game of a doubleheader and the final no-hitter at Candlestick Park. Halicki struck out 10 Mets and walked two, while another reached on an error.
Sept. 29, 1976: John Montefusco at Atlanta Braves
“The Count” allowed only one batter to reach base — a fourth-inning walk of Jerry Royster — as the Giants beat the Braves 9-0.
July 10, 2009: Jonathan Sánchez vs. San Diego Padres
Sánchez did not walk any Padres, but a Juan Uribe error in the top of the eighth spoiled the perfect game. He struck out 11 Mets in an 8-0 Giants win. This was the first no-hitter at the Giants’ waterfront ballpark.
June 13, 2012: Matt Cain vs. Houston Astros – perfect game
Cain’s no-hitter is the only perfect game in franchise history and the 22nd ever in Major League Baseball. He dominated, striking out 14 batters in a 10-8 win. Four and a half months later, the Giants won their second World Series in three years.
July 13, 2013: Tim Lincecum at San Diego Padres
Lincecum struck out 13 Padres in the first no-hitter thrown at Petco Park. He threw 148 pitches to finish the job in a 9-0 win.
June 25, 2014: Tim Lincecum vs. San Diego Padres
For the second time in less than a year, Lincecum no-hit the Padres. He struck out six, and only a second-inning walk of Chase Headley kept him from a perfect game as the Giants won 4-0.
June 9, 2015: Chris Heston vs. New York Mets
Heston hit three batters and walked none in the 5-0 win, becoming the 35th rookie to pitch a complete-game no-hitter.
Aug. 2, 2024: Blake Snell vs. Cincinnati Reds
Snell pitched into the ninth inning for the first time in his career, getting the final two batters out on one pitch each as the Giants won 3-0. Snell struck out 11 Reds, walking only three.
