Now, some of you probably know that Johnny Vander Meer is the only pitcher in baseball history to have pitched no-hitters in back to back starts, in 1938. However, Mr Stieb came agonizing close to the same feat late in the 1988 season. Believe it or not, in back to back starts, he lost no-hitters with 2 outs in the ninth inning! Both of the hits he gave up were real cheapies too! Amazing!

wow. i'd be so pissed at the infield if i were him.
