Fernando Valenzuela threw a no-hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 29, 1990, fulfilling a prediction of sorts in the process.

Roughly 30 minutes prior to first pitch at Dodger Stadium, Oakland Athletics right-hander Dave Stewart completed a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays. Valenzuela, that evening’s starter for Dodgers, wondered aloud if there’d be a second on the night.

Sure enough, Valenzuela no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals in a 6-0 victory. It marked the only time in baseball history two no-hitters were thrown on the same day. Valenzuela entered the outing having suffered a loss in three of his last six games.

He threw 119 pitches, issued three walks and finished with seven strikeouts. It spawned one of Vin Scully’s more infamous calls, “If you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky!”

The no-hitter was the Dodgers’ first since Jerry Reuss had one against the San Francisco Giants on June 27, 1980, and just their second since 1970.

The no-hitter was the only of Valenzuela’s career.
