Compton’s Bieber Fires 2nd No-Hitter Of Season, Fans 15

Compton ace Shane Bieber finished off the second no-hitter of the 2021 PGBL season by getting Louisville’s Rougned Odor to chase the last three of his 126 pitches for his 15th strikeout.
Bieber issued three walks in the 3-0 road victory, posting the 22nd no-hitter on record while improving to 2-5 on the year and lowering his ERA to 2.67. He struck out Odor in all four of his at-bats and whiffed Asdrubal Cabrera three times.
Orlando Arcia and Eugenio Suarez had RBI doubles and Gleyber Torres contributed a sacrifice fly for the Outlawz, who struck out 16 times against three Louisville pitchers. Long Rifles starter Drew Smyly (1-6) racked up 11 punch outs in five innings.
Bieber’s no-no comes just over three weeks after a combined no-hitter by Toronto’s Kwang Hyun Kim and Freddy Peralta, the second-shortest gap in league history behind the six days separating Brian Anderson’s perfect game for the BlueBirds and a gem by San Antonio’s Russ Ortiz in 2004.
It marks the first season with two no-hitters since Flagstaff’s Ubaldo Jimenez and London’s Matt Cain in 2010.
