National Pastime.com: In front of a dwindling crowd, made up of mostly remaining Giants fans, Chris Heston, making his 13th career start, strikes out the side in the ninth inning to finish the season's first no-hitter, a 5-0 Giants' victory over the Mets at Citi Field. The 27 year-old rookie right-hander's no-no, the 17th in franchise history, marks the fourth straight season the feat has been accomplished by a San Francisco hurler, with Matt Cain (2012) and Tim Lincecum (2013 and 2014) throwing complete games without yielding a hit during the past three years.

NY Post: Anemic Mets no-hit by Giants rookie Chris Heston. “The first 10 Mets went down in order before Heston hit Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda back-to-back in the fourth inning with one out. But Cuddyer rapped into a third-second-first double play to snuff the threat….The only other base runner was Anthony Recker, who was hit leading off the bottom of the ninth…after hitting Recker, Heston struck out pinch-hitter Danny Muno and Granderson looking. Ditto Ruben Tejada to finish his 110-pitch gem…The Mets, who remained a half-game up on the Nationals (6-1 losers to the Yankees) in the NL East race, really had nothing resembling a threat all game — only two balls reached the outfield.”

Mets would get no-hit again later in the year by Max Scherzer.
