<P> Only Ryan, Sandy Koufax (four), Cy Young (three), Bob Feller (three), and Larry Corcoran (three) have pitched more than two no - hitters . Corcoran was the first pitcher to throw a second no - hitter in a career (in 1882), as well as the first to throw a third (in 1884). </P> <P> Thirty - six pitchers have thrown more than one no - hitter, combined no - hitters not counting . Randy Johnson has the longest gap between no - hitters: he threw a no - hitter as a member of the Seattle Mariners on June 2, 1990, and a perfect game as an Arizona Diamondback on May 18, 2004 . </P> <P> The pitcher who holds the record for the shortest time between no - hitters is Johnny Vander Meer, the only pitcher in history to throw no - hitters in consecutive starts, while playing for the Cincinnati Reds in 1938 . Besides Vander Meer, Allie Reynolds (in 1951), Virgil Trucks (in 1952), Ryan (in 1973), and Max Scherzer (in 2015) are the only other major leaguers to throw two no - hitters in the same regular season . </P> <P> Jim Maloney also had two no - hitters under the previous rules in the 1965 season, both of them taken into extra innings . On the first one on June 14, he gave up a home run to Johnny Lewis to open the top of the 11th inning, turning 10 innings of no - hit ball into a 1--0 loss to the New York Mets . According to the rules interpretation of the time, this was considered a no - hitter . On August 19, a home run by Leo Cárdenas in the tenth inning allowed Maloney to earn a 1--0 10 - inning no - hit win over the Chicago Cubs . </P>
