Ken Forsch tosses no hitters

On April 7, 1979, Ken Forsch, who almost didn’t make the start due to swelling in his right arm caused by an insect bite, holds the Atlanta Braves hitless, throwing the earliest no-hitter in baseball history. The Houston Astros hurler’s no-no makes the Forsch brothers the first siblings to both accomplish the feat, with Bob, as a member of the Cardinals, throwing a no-hitter against the Phillies last season.

Jack Morris will match Forsch’s feat, and in 2001, Hideo Nomo will pitch a no-hitter on an earlier date, April 4th.
