The Toronto Blue Jays’ Marco Estrada lost an eighth-inning no-hitter in his second consecutive start during a Dave Stieb-esque week, five years ago.
Estrada reached the eighth with a no-no intact against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 24, 2015, at Tropicana Field before Logan Forsythe tagged him for a one-out infield single. Five days earlier, Estrada lost a no-no against the Orioles at Rogers Centre with no out in the eighth.
Here are those two starts:
