1972 – San Diego’s Steve Arlin takes a no-hitter against Philadelphia into the 9th inning before settling for a second straight two-hitter. The first hit comes when Denny Doyle hits a two-out bloop single over the head of 3B Dave Roberts, playing in for a possible bunt. During the season, Arlin will notch three two-hitters, a one-hitter, and a 10-inning one-hit stint, yet compile a 10-21 record.
