On a night where the Golden State Warriors were playing their first road NBA Finals road game in 40 years, it was a rookie for the San Francisco Giants who took the headlines in the Bay Area.

Chris Heston, making just his 13th career start put his name into baseball immortality, as he threw a no-hitter and the Giants defeated the New York Mets 5-0 at Citi Field.

It was the first no-hitter in Heston’s life, and also the first no-hitter of the 2015 season in Major League Baseball.

Heston struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth inning to finish the game with 11 strikeouts and zero walks. The only Mets runners to reach base came via hit by a pitch, which Heston hit three batters.

On the evening, Heston picked up his first two runs batted in of his major league career and also picked up two hits on the night

This is the fourth straight year that the Giants pitching staff has tossed a no-hitter, beginning with Matt Cain’s perfect game in 2012, followed Tim Lincecum in both 2013 and 2014. The only other team to turn this feat was the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1962-1965, when Sandy Koufax threw four no-hitters.

The Giants got on the board in the first inning, as Angel Pagan drove in a run on a groundout, Matt Duffy hit a home run in the top of the sixth and then Yonkers native Joe Panik extended his hitting streak to 14 games, as he added a home run in the seventh inning.

It was an historical night for Bruce Bochy as well, as he picked up his 700th win as the manager of the Giants.

This was the 17th no-hitter in Giants history, and their first in the city of New York since Carl Hubbell tossed one back in 1929.
