Charlie Lea, who was the first French-born pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the major leagues, has died at age 54. Collierville (Tennessee) Police Lt. Doug Marshall confirmed Friday night that Lea was found dead at his home by his wife at about 4:30 p.m. The cause of death was not immediately known. On May 9, 1981, Lea threw a no-hitter as the Montreal Expos beat the Giants 4-0 in the second game of a doubleheader. The right-hander was an All-Star in 1984. His career record was 62-48, with an ERA of 3.54.
