On May 4, 2018, Walker Buehler led the Dodgers in a combined no-hitter against the Padres, marking a significant event as it was the first Major League game played in Mexico in nearly two decades. This no-hitter represented both a franchise milestone and a historical first for MLB, specifically occurring outside the US or Canada. Buehler, limited in his third start of the season, effectively turned in six innings, supported by crucial early runs and contributions from the bullpen, leading to a historic win. Interestingly, many players were unaware of the no-hitter as it progressed, emphasizing the unique superstitions surrounding such feats.
Making just his third start of the season and working under some limitations, Buehler threw 93 pitches to get through six innings. He walked three batters and struck out eight.
While one might assume all players in the dugout were aware of the circumstances as the game was unfolding, Cody Bellinger later revealed that was not the case.
