There have been 327 no-hitters throughout MLB history as of May 25, 2026, and nearly all of them have been performed by a single pitcher.
The others?
Twenty-two combined efforts where the starter didn’t go the distance and the bullpen completed the feat.
Below is a look at each combined no-hitter, beginning with the most recent.
Astros 9, Rangers 0 -- May 25, 2026 Tatsuya Imai, Steven Okert, Alimber Santa The Astros have an uncanny knack for combined no-nos -- this was their fifth, which is three more than any other franchise.
For a few reasons, this combined effort was particularly improbable.
After signing a three-year, $54 million contract in the offseason, Imai had pitched to an 8.31 ERA in his first five Major League starts in between a stay on the injured list for arm fatigue.
He sure picked a good time for his best outing.
He walked four hitters while striking out two before giving way to the bullpen, including Santa, who made his MLB debut by retiring all six batters he faced.
Cubs 12, Pirates 0 -- Sept. 4, 2024 Shota Imanaga, Nate Pearson, Porter Hodge This was the Cubs' second consecutive no-hitter to come in a combined effort, after the franchise had never had a combo no-no entering the 2021 season.
This one was led by rookie phenom Imanaga, who only allowed two walks in his seven innings of work, before both Pearson and Hodge had 1-2-3 innings.
It was the 18th no-hitter in franchise history, and the first one at Wrigley Field since 1972.
Tigers 2, Blue Jays 0 -- July 8, 2023 Matt Manning, Jason Foley, Alex Lange The first combined no-hitter in Tigers history -- and the franchise's ninth overall -- came against a potent Blue Jays lineup in what was just the fifth start of the season for Manning, who was hit by a comebacker in April and spent over two months on the injured list with a broken foot.
The 25-year-old walked three and struck out five in his dominant outing before giving way to Foley and Lange, who retired the final seven batters in order.
Astros 5, Phillies 0 -- 2022 World Series Game 4 Cristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero, Ryan Pressly The Astros made baseball history with the first combined no-hitter in playoff history.
Javier dominated a scary Phillies lineup over six innings before handing it over to Houston's excellent bullpen.
It was just the third no-hitter in postseason history and first since Roy Halladay's no-no for the Phillies in the 2010 NLDS.
It's the second no-hitter in World Series history after Don Larson's perfect game in 1956.
Astros 2, Yankees 0 -- June 25, 2022 Cristian Javier, Héctor Neris, Ryan Pressly Javier, in the midst of a great season, was masterful over his seven innings, striking out 13, the most by an Astro since Gerrit Cole, who started the game for the Yankees, struck out 15 in the 2019 ALDS.
Javier departed having thrown 115 pitches, and the bullpen took it from there, Neris escaping a jam in the 8th and Pressly slamming the door in the 9th.
The Yankees, for their part, made it just over 19 years without being no-hit, a streak bookended on both sides by Houston -- prior to 2022, they had last fallen victim to a combined effort by six Astros pitchers on June 11, 2003.

Mets 3, Phillies 0 -- April 29, 2022 Tylor Megill, Drew Smith, Joely Rodríguez, Seth Lugo, Edwin Díaz It took 159 pitches spread among five pitchers, but the Mets threw the second no-hitter in franchise history nearly 10 years after the first -- Johan Santana's no-no against the Cardinals on June 1, 2012.
The Phillies were coming off a four-game sweep of the Rockies in which they outscored Colorado, 32-9.
Despite issuing six walks, the Mets' staff struck out 12, the final three of which came in the ninth by Díaz, who fanned the formidable trio of Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto to seal it.
Brewers 3, Indians 0 -- Sept. 11, 2021 Corbin Burnes, Josh Hader Burnes was just about untouchable in his Sept. 11 start against Cleveland, racking up 14 strikeouts and allowing just one baserunner on a sixth-inning walk.
After a career-high 115 pitches, Burnes gave way to Hader, who needed just nine pitches to add two more strikeouts to the combined line and complete the second no-hitter in Brewers history, after Juan Nieves' in 1987.
Cubs 4, Dodgers 0 -- June 24, 2021 Zach Davies, Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin, Craig Kimbrel Davies walked five and struck out four over his six frames, which drove up his pitch count and necessitated the bullpen.
But the Cubs' trio of Tepera, Chafin and Kimbrel, who had been dominant all season to that point, continued to silence opponents' bats and completed the no-no with three walks and three strikeouts.
It was the first combined no-hitter in the storied history of the Cubs, which dates back to 1876.
And it was the first no-hitter thrown against a lineup with three former MVP Award winners -- Mookie Betts, Cody Bellinger and Albert Pujols.
Astros 9, Mariners 0 -- Aug. 3, 2019 Aaron Sanchez, Will Harris, Joe Biagini, Chris Devenski What a debut.
Sanchez was making his first Astros start, after Houston acquired him from the Blue Jays at the Trade Deadline just three days earlier.
He became the first pitcher in franchise history to throw six or more no-hit innings in his first game as an Astro.
And Sanchez wasn't even the only new guy to take the mound -- Biagini, who pitched the eighth, came over from Toronto in the same trade.
The Astros' no-no made the 2019 season just the second ever with multiple combined no-hitters, along with 1991.
Angels 13, Mariners 0 -- July 12, 2019 Taylor Cole, Felix Pena In an incredibly emotional game, the first at home after the tragic passing of Tyler Skaggs, the Angels jumped out to a big lead behind Mike Trout's homer, two doubles and six RBIs.
But as the evening went on, it became clear that another special development was unfolding: a combined no-hitter.
Taylor Cole was the opener against Seattle, and tossed two perfect innings with a pair of strikeouts.
He gave way to Felix Peña, who came in and was dominant for the remaining seven frames, walking one and striking out six.
He finished off the combined no-no by getting Mallex Smith to ground out to second.
Following the final out, an emotional Angels squad gathered together and each player took the jersey off his back -- each with the name “Skaggs” and the No. 45 -- and placed it on the mound, along with a painting of Skaggs in front of the famed cornfields from “Field of Dreams.”
Dodgers 4, Padres 0 -- May 4, 2018 Walker Buehler, Tony Cingrani, Yimi Garcia, Adam Liberatore Buehler was electric in his third Major League start, hurling six no-hit innings with three walks and eight strikeouts.
But with his pitch count up to 93 and the Dodgers playing it safe with their top prospect, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2015, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts turned the game over to his bullpen for the final three frames.
Cingrani, Garcia and Liberatore finished the job, completing the only combined no-hitter in Dodgers history and the club’s 23rd overall.
And this one happened in Mexico.
Phillies 7, Braves 0 -- Sept. 1, 2014 Cole Hamels, Jake Diekman, Ken Giles, Jonathan Papelbon Hamels was dominant for six frames, holding the Braves without a hit and striking out seven batters.
But five free passes brought his pitch count to 108, prompting the call to the bullpen.
Philadelphia’s relief trio of Diekman, Giles and Papelbon combined for three perfect innings to finish off the no-no at Turner Field.
Hamels would complete a no-hitter of his own the following season against the Cubs on July 25.
Mariners 1, Dodgers 0 -- June 8, 2012 Kevin Millwood, Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon League, Tom Wilhelmsen Seattle tied the 2003 Astros’ record for most pitchers used in a no-hitter when Millwood and five relievers combined to complete the feat against the Dodgers.
A mild groin strain knocked Millwood out of this one after six innings.
He walked one batter and struck out six before exiting after 68 pitches.
It’s one of six Interleague no-hitters and the first Mariners no-hitter at Safeco Field.
Astros 8, Yankees 0 -- June 11, 2003 Roy Oswalt, Peter Munro, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel, Billy Wagner The Astros set the MLB record for most pitchers used in a no-hitter, which was later tied by the Mariners in 2012.
Oswalt’s early exit due to an injury left Houston’s bullpen to complete this no-hit effort.
Lidge was named the winning pitcher after two perfect innings.
Pirates 3, Astros 0 -- July 12, 1997 Francisco Cordova, Ricardo Rincon Cordova was brilliant in blanking Houston for nine innings at Three Rivers Stadium, compiling 10 strikeouts to two walks over 121 pitches.
He remains the only pitcher in MLB history to open a combined no-hitter by pitching nine full innings.
The Bucs got a walk-off, three-run homer from Mark Smith in the bottom of the 10th to end it, after Rincon worked around a one-out walk to retire the side in the top half of the frame.
