It's important to note that since 1952, only two pitchers have joined this list: Nolan Ryan (1973) and Roy Halladay (2010), making this one of the most exclusive clubs in ML history. Sadly, 4 of these 5 pitchers are now deceased.

Scott, Max Scherzer of the Wash. Nationals became the 6th pitcher to accomplish this feat in 2015. He no-hit the Pirates on 6/20/15, just missing a perfect game by hitting a Pirates batter with 2 outs in the 9th. My wife and I were most fortunate to have attended this game. Scherzer also no-hit the Mets on 10/3/15.
