Jay Hughes's No-Hitter
The Baltimore Orioles held the Boston Beaneaters without a hit on April 22, 1898, winning 8–0. Jay Hughes started the game for the Baltimore Orioles.
It was played at Oriole Park III in Baltimore. The announced attendance was 1,800. Ted Lewis started for the Boston Beaneaters. Tom Lynch umpired behind the plate. It was played in daylight, as every game was: the first night game in the major leagues came in 1935.
The game log records each side's starting pitcher rather than everyone who appeared, so where a no-hitter was finished by a second pitcher this page names the man who began it. No-hitters before 1898 are missing from this archive for a related reason: the game logs carry no hit totals at all for the 1880s and only part of the 1890s, so there is nothing to read them off.
