  • Fred Toney was the third pitcher to toss 10 no-hit innings and is one of four (Sam Kimber vs. Toledo Blue Stockings on October 4, 1884 at Washington Park I in Brooklyn; Hooks Wiltse vs. Phillies on July 4, 1908 at Polo Grounds IV in New York; Jim Maloney vs. Cubs on August 19, 1965 at Wrigley Field in Chicago).
  • Hippo Vaughn allowed no hits through nine innings before the Reds got two in the 10th and won 1-0 on a single by Larry Kopf, dropped line drive by Cy Williams, and grounder by Jim Thorpe that scored Kopf.
  • Toney almost lost his no-hitter in the bottom of the 10th when Fred Merkle belted a shot to left that looked like it was going to clear the fence and tie the score, but left fielder Manuel Cueto raced to the wall and pulled the ball in for the second out of the inning.
  • Cy Williams also had a chance to break up the no-hitter and tie the score with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, but his drive to right hooked foul by a foot and Toney fanned him to complete his no-hitter.

Did You Know?
  • This was the first major league no-hitter thrown by an African-American.
  • It was the first National League no-hitter thrown in Chicago since 1917 (Fred Toney vs. Cubs on May 2, 1917 at Wrigley Field) and the first by a Cubs pitcher since 1915 (Jimmy Lavender vs. Giants on August 31, 1915 at Polo Grounds V in New York).
  • Jones walked the first three batters to start the ninth inning, prompting a mound visit from manager Stan Hack who insisted later if Jones walked one more batter he was going to be removed from the game. Jones rebounded and fanned the next three batters on 11 pitches to complete the no-hitter.
  • Jones was the last pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the same season in which he lost 20 games and is one of three to do it since 1900 (Noodles Hahn vs. Phillies on July 12, 1900 at League Park II in Cincinnati; Joe Bush vs. Indians on August 26, 1916 at Shibe Park in Philadelphia).
  • Catcher Clyde McCullough caught 1,046 games before catching his only no-hitter at the age of 38.

  • Maloney holds the modern-era record for most batters faced (40) in a no-hitter.
  • This was the second of three no-hitters caught by Johnny Edwards (Ken Johnson vs. Reds on April 23, 1964 at Colt Stadium in Houston; Ray Washburn vs. Giants on September 18, 1968 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco).

  • A 16 mile-per-hour wind blowing in towards the plate helped keep Hank Aaron's seventh inning drive in the park.

  • Cubs starting catcher Bill Heath suffered a broken right index finger when he was hit by a foul tip in the top of the eighth inning and was replaced by Gene Oliver.
  • Those 7 2/3 hitless innings caught were the last of Heath's major league career.
  • It was the fourth time a catcher didn?t complete a no-hitter he started and is one of five times the starting catcher was either replaced or moved to another position (Walt Tragesser/Hank Gowdy vs. Pirates on June 16, 1916 at Braves Field in Boston; Pinch Tomas/Sam Agnew vs. Senators on June 23, 1917 at Fenway park in Boston; Andy Etchebarren/Larry Haney vs. Tigers on April 30, 1967 at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore; Gene Tenace/Ray Fosse vs. Angels on September 28, 1975 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum).

  • Hooton benefitted from a 16-mile-an-hour wind that kept Greg Luzinski's seventh inning drive from leaving the park.
  • After the game, Cubs general manager John Holland increased Hooton's salary by $2500 and gave catcher Randy Hundley a $500 raise.
  • This was the first of two no-hitters caught by Randy Hundley (Milt Pappas vs. Padres on September 2, 1972 at Wrigley Field in Chicago).

  • Imanaga's combined no-hitter came in only his 26th major league start, but it was his second as a professional. Pitching for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, Imanaga threw a no-hitter against the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters on June 7, 2022.
  • The Pirates reached base three times in the first two innings--Bryan Reynolds reached in the first inning on an error by third baseman Isaac Paredes, and Connor Joe and Jared Triolo on walks in the second. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Nick Gonzales reached base in the sixth on two more Paredes errors, but they couldn't get a runner past second.
  • Imanaga is the first no-hit pitcher to have three errors committed behind him in 93 years (Wes Ferrell vs. Browns on April 29, 1931).
