On July 14, 1995, Ramón Martinez threw a no-hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 7-0 win at Dodger Stadium against the then-Florida Marlins. The no-hitter was the only such game of Martinez’s 14-year career.
Although Martinez is most known for being the older brother of Pedro Martinez, once a Dodgers prospect, he enjoyed a successful 11-year career with the team himself. The 1995 season was Martinez’s eighth with the Dodgers.
While the year was a rather successful one for the right-hander, he was booed in a home start prior to making history. As Martinez worked on the 22nd no-hitter in Dodgers franchise history, the Dodger Stadium faithful voiced their support as the moment drew closer.
Martinez nearly saw a hit fall when Terry Pendleton drove a ball deep into the gap in right-center field. Rookie Todd Hollandsworth, who made first career start, came up with a running catch on the warning track.
Hollandsworth added three hits and two RBI, and Jose Offerman and Mike each contributed an RBI single in the win. The Dodgers provided Martinez with a 2-0 lead in the second inning, extended it in the third, and created more separation with a four-run sixth.
Then-Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda later shared he sensed in the second inning that Martinez would finish with a special game. Martinez struck out eight and issued just one walk.
ラソーダはその気持ちをビル・ラッセル監督に伝えたが、ノーヒッターが目前に迫っていることを明確に伝えるには至らなかった。ラソーダは、試合後にラッセルと何かを分かち合うとだけ伝えた。
マルティネスはそのシーズン、17勝7敗、防御率3.66の成績を残した。これは、1990年のオールスターで記録した20勝に次ぐ、キャリア2番目の勝利数であった。マルティネスは1995年のナ・リーグサイ・ヤング賞の投票で5位に入った。
ドジャースでの14シーズンでマルティネスは266試合（262先発）に登板し、123勝77敗、防御率3.45。
Dodgers no-hitters
The Dodgers have thrown the most no-hitters of any MLB team with 26. Thirteen of those have come in Los Angeles, while 10 occurred when the team played in Brooklyn, and the remaining three happened before 1890.
