Smoky Joe Wood's No-Hitter

DateJul 29, 1911
ScoreBrowns 0, Red Sox 5
TypeNo hitter

The Boston Red Sox held the St. Louis Browns without a hit on July 29, 1911, winning 5–0. Smoky Joe Wood started the game for the Boston Red Sox.

It was played at Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds in Boston. Joe Lake started for the St. Louis Browns. Silk O'Loughlin 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.
