June 29, 1990 Oakland's Dave Stewart and the Dodgers' Fernando Valenzuela both throw no-hitters today, the first time this has happened since Hippo Vaughn and Fred Toney's double no-hitter in 1917. Stewart blanks the Blue Jays, 5 – 0, and a few hours later Valenzuela beats the Cardinals, 6 – 0. The only threat to Stewart is a fly ball by Fred McGriff that Dave Henderson catches with his back pinned to the wall. Fernando almost loses his no-hitter with one out in the 9th when Pedro Guerrero hits a grounder up the middle with a runner on. Valenzuela, a former Gold Glover, deflects the ball towards second base where SS Alfredo Griffin starts a game-ending double play.
