Joe Musgrove wrote a new first line in Padres history in Arlington, throwing the franchise's first no-hitter in a 3-0 victory over the Texas Rangers.
The El Cajon native struck out 10 and allowed only one baserunner, who reached on a hit-by-pitch. San Diego had played 8,205 regular-season games without a no-hitter before Musgrove finished the ninth inning.
For a club founded in 1969, the achievement closed a 53-season wait. It also gave the moment a distinctly local shape: the pitcher who finally did it had grown up watching the team himself.
