The Toronto Blue Jays’ Marco Estrada lost an eighth-inning no-hitter in his second consecutive start, two years ago today.
Estrada reached the eighth with a no-no intact against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 24, 2015, at Tropicana Field before Logan Forsythe tagged him for a one-out infield single. Five days earlier, Estrada lost a no-no against the Orioles at Rogers Centre with no out in the eighth.
Here are those two starts:
| 7 | Marco Estrada |
|---|---|
| Toronto Blue Jays (AL) | |
| Friday, June 19, 2015 Spoiler: Jimmy Paredes broken-bat bloop single to left with no out in the eight inning Toronto Blue Jays 5, Baltimore Orioles 4 Rogers Centre (Toronto) |

As if that hard luck wasn’t enough, Estrada also lost another eighth-inning no-no in 2016:

Kind of Dave Stieb-esque, huh?
