This Day In Dodgers History: Fernando Valenzuela Matches Dave Stewart By Throwing No-Hitter
Briefly

On June 29, 1990, Fernando Valenzuela achieved a historic no-hitter for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the St. Louis Cardinals, just hours after Oakland's Dave Stewart had done the same against the Toronto Blue Jays. This rare event marked the only instance in Major League Baseball history that two no-hitters were thrown on the same day. Valenzuela's outstanding performance, which included 119 pitches, three walks, and seven strikeouts, was notable for being the only no-hitter of his career, adding to his legacy as a six-time All-Star and a key figure in Dodgers history.
Fernandomania reached new heights on June 29, 1990, as Fernando Valenzuela threw a no-hitter for the Dodgers on the same night another pitcher did.
Valenzuela's no-hitter stood out not only for its rarity, being the only one thrown in his career, but also for its historical significance.
