Did You Know?
- This was the first of two career no-hitters thrown by Warren Spahn (vs. Giants on April 28, 1961 at County Stadium).
- Spahn's 15 strikeouts broke the record of 14 set by Nap Rucker (vs. Doves on September 5, 1908 at Washington Park III in Brooklyn) and were tied for the most in a no-hitter (Don Wilson vs. Braves on June 18, 1967 at Astrodome in Houston) until Nolan Ryan fanned 17 Tigers on July 15, 1973 at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.
- Spahn's 505 career starts prior to throwing his no-hitter are the most among no-hit pitchers. He made only five starts between the end of 1960 and the start of 1961 before throwing his second no-hitter.
- This was the third of three no-hitters caught by Del Crandall and all came against the Phillies at County Stadium (Jim Wilson vs. Phillies on June 12, 1954; Lew Burdette vs. Phillies on August 18, 1960).
