Did You Know?
- Kilroy was a 20-year-old rookie when he threw his no-hitter and just missed tossing three others when he allowed only one hit in each.
- Despite leading the American Association with an all-time major league best 513 strikeouts in 1886, Kilroy also led the league in losses with 34.
- This was the fourth time the Pittsburgh Alleghenys were victims of a no-hitter in four years (Guy Hecker on September 19, 1882 at Exposition Park I in Pittsburgh; Al Atkinson on May 24, 1884 at Jefferson Street Grounds in Philadelphia; Ed Morris on May 29, 1884 at Exposition Park II in Pittsburgh).
