2016 – Rich Hill throws seven perfect innings against the Marlins, but is pulled by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts because of concern over a previous blister problem. Joe Blanton takes over in the 8th, but after two outs he gives up a single to Jeff Francoeur. Dee Gordon adds another single with two outs in the 9th, but the Dodgers win, 5 – 0. In the 7th, RF Yasiel Puig had kept Hill’s bid alive with a superb diving catch, depriving Martin Prado of a likely extra-base hit. It’s the second time Roberts removes a pitcher with a no-hit bid going late in a game, having done the same to rookie Ross Stripling back in April.
