1961
Five days past his 40th birthday‚ Warren Spahn becomes the 2nd-oldest ML pitcher (after Cy Young) to hurl a no-hitter‚ blanking San Francisco 1-0. Hank Aaron drives in the only run off loser Sam Jones‚ who strikes out 10. It is Spahn's 290th win and 52nd shutout. Spahn faces just 27 men‚ following each walk by starting a DP.
Complete box score and play-by-play HERE. In the ninth, Charlie Lau dropped a foul pop out for an error, but Spahn retired that batter. Aaron drove in the run with a first inning two-out single. That was one of just five hits off Jones.
