- This was the first of two no-hitters caught by Terry Steinbach (Eric Milton vs. Angels on September 11, 1999 at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis).

Did You Know?
- James Paxton is the first Canadian-born pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Canada.
- This was the third of three no-hitters thrown in 2018 and all three were thrown in different countries.
- Paxton no-hit the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario; Sean Manaea no-hit the Boston Red Sox at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on April 21, 2018; Four Los Angeles Dodgers no-hit the San Diego Padres at Estadio Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico on May 4, 2018.
- Paxton's no-hitter is considered by some to be the 300th in MLB history, but it depends on which camp you're in--those who recognize Joe Borden's National Association no-hitter in 1875 as the first (vs. Chicago White Stockings on July 28, 1875 at Jefferson Street Grounds in Philadelphia) or those who recognize George Bradley's National League no-hitter in 1876 as the first (vs. Hartford Dark Blues on July 15, 1876 at Grand Avenue Park in St. Louis).
- Major League Baseball's Special Baseball Records Committee (SBRC) ruled in 1968-1969 that the National Association would no longer be recognized as a major league, although it's still recognized as the first professional baseball league.
