A pitcher throws a "no hitter" in baseball when he doesn't allow the other team a single hit in the course of the game. It is a very rare occurrence, and the Mets (despite having some of the greatest hall of fame pitchers on their roster) had never had one. The San Diego Padres are now the only team in MLB to not have a no-hitter.
In baseball terms, it's absolutely HISTORIC.
It was the Mets 8,020th game.
