Joe Musgrove throws first no-hitter in San Diego Padres history in win over Texas Rangers - ESPN

10:53 PM ET

The San Diego Padres are no longer the only major league team without a no-hitter. And for that they can thank local product Joe Musgrove, who twirled his first career no-hitter in a 3-0 victory over the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on Friday night.

Musgrove's outing, which included 10 strikeouts and just one baserunner -- on a hit by pitch in the fourth inning -- snapped the Padres' streak of regular-season games without a no-hitter at 8,206.

Musgrove, 28, retired the first 11 Rangers hitters in order, then plunked Joey Gallo and retired the next 16. He began the bottom of the ninth at 103 pitches, a concerning pitch count given the caution managers are expressing with their pitchers coming off a shortened season.

Nine pitches later, though, Musgrove made history.

David Dahl lined out to second baseman Jake Cronenworth, Leody Taveras hit a tapper back to the mound, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa grounded out to Ha-Seong Kim, who is temporarily replacing the injured Fernando Tatis Jr. at shortstop.

Musgrove grew up in El Cajon, California, roughly 15 miles from San Diego, and has thrown 15 scoreless innings in his first two starts for the Padres.
