Giants nearly became 1st team to post 5 no-hitters in 5 years

One little bloop from Corey Seager erased more than just Matt Moore's chance at personal history.

When Seager broke up the left-hander's no-hit bid with two out in the ninth inning Thursday night, it left the San Francisco Giants just short of becoming the first team in history to record no-hitters in five consecutive seasons.

As of now, the Giants' four-season run of no-nos is only matched by the 1962-65 Dodgers (who had one no-hitter a year from Sandy Koufax in that span) for the most consecutive seasons with no-hitters in baseball history.

GIANTS NO-HITTERS SINCE 2012

The fact that the slumping Giants held on to win the one-hitter 4-0, which trimmed their deficit in the NL West race to just two games, almost seemed lost on some of Moore's teammates once the 27-year-old's bid was broken up.

"It stinks," catcher Buster Posey, who was behind the plate for three of the team's four recent no-hitters and caught Moore's effort on Thursday, told Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle. "There's no other way around it. It's a big win, but at that point you're pulling for the guy to get it done."

Despite his teammates' apparent disappointment, Moore - who's in the midst of his first full season since undergoing Tommy John surgery - wasn't sweating over missing history by a few feet.

"I wouldn't say (it was) aggravating," Moore told reporters after recording his first win as a Giant. "I think ... no-hitters is a personal milestone, a personal achievement.

"I'm happy. It's a happy room in there. You never want to get swept under any circumstances. For us to have a happy flight home, I'm definitely proud of the way things went today."
