The Phillies’ Terry Mulholland spins the major leagues’ 8th no-hitter of the season

This Day In Baseball

On August 15, 1990 — The Phillies’ Terry Mulholland spins the major leagues’ 8th no-hitter of the season. Mulholland faces the minimum 27 batters in blanking the Giants, 6 – 0, as just one runner reaches base on a throwing error by Charlie Hayes. But Hayes makes the last putout by grabbing a Gary Carter line drive. John Kruk also makes a crucial play by reaching into the stands to pull back a one-out pop-up by Matt Williams in the 8th. The gem is the first nine-inning no-hitter ever thrown at the Philadelphia ballpark, and is the eighth no-no of the season, surpassing the previous record of seven set in 1908 and tied in 1917.
