AI notes: On June 1, 1975, Nolan Ryan of the California Angels threw the fourth no-hitter of his career, facing the Baltimore Orioles at Anaheim Stadium in a tense 1–0 victory. Ryan struck out nine batters and walked four, using his legendary fastball and sharp changeups to keep the powerful Orioles lineup off balance over 147 pitches. This performance tied him with Sandy Koufax for the most no-hitters in Major League history at the time and marked his third consecutive season with a no-hitter, underscoring his dominance on the mound during the mid-1970s. Despite the close score, Ryan’s control and resilience allowed him to complete the game without yielding a single hit, further cementing his reputation as one of baseball’s most intimidating pitchers and setting the stage for him to eventually extend the all-time no-hitter record to seven.
