Homer Bailey's no-hitter against the Pirates on Friday night was the seventh of the season, tying a Major League record.

There were seven no-hitters thrown in both 1990 and 1991.

"I don't think there is anything special about it," Bailey said. "Pitchers just have to find that fortunate night and there's got to be a couple of plays where defense makes a great play. Mix all of those things together, and you can have a very special night."
