List of Rochester Red Wings no-hitters

Gary Robson pitched the most recent perfect game for the Rochester Red Wings on August 16, 1974.

Since their inception in 1899, the Rochester Red Wings, a Minor League Baseball team based in Rochester, New York, have thrown twenty no-hitters, including two perfect games, the most in Minor League Baseball history. A no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits over the course of a game. ^[2] A perfect game, a much rarer feat, occurs when no batters reach base by a hit or any other means, such as a walk, hit by pitch, or error. ^[2]

Rochester's twenty no-hitters were accomplished by a total of twenty-four pitchers. eighteen were complete games pitched by a lone pitcher, and two were combined no-hitters. Six occurred while the team was a member of the Double-A classification, and fourteen while at Triple-A, though each level was the highest level of the minors at the time. One was pitched at the Red Wings' second home ballpark, the Bay Street Ball Grounds, where the team played from 1908 to 1926. Seven was pitched at the Red Wings' third home ballpark, Silver Stadium, where the team played from 1926 to 1996. Finally, one have been pitched at Innovative Field, where they have played since 1997. Ten were pitched in road games. Two of these games were perfect although one is disputed on whether or not the game continued due to weather.

Notes

2. Toronto scored a run after Nolen Richardson walked and came home as the result of two fielding errors in the seventh inning.
3. Richmond scored a run after Jack Damaska walked, advanced to third base on a fielding error, and came home on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning.
4. The game began on July 24 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park but was suspended due to rain in the middle of the third inning. ^[10] It was resumed on August 11 at Rochester's Frontier Field. ^[11]
