Houston Astros right-hander Don Wilson pitches the first of his two career no-hitters

Don Wilson

On June 18, 1967, Houston Astros right-hander, Don Wilson, just 22, fans Hank Aaron to complete his first no-hitter, a 2-0 gem over the Atlanta Braves . Aaron is Wilson’s 15th strikeout victim that Father’s Day afternoon. Jim Wynn’s double off Phil Niekro keys a two-run rally for the game’s only scoring. He becomes the tenth rookie to throw a no-hitter. Though it is the third no-hitter in franchise history, it’s the first shutout no-hitter and the first hurled in the Astrodome.
