San Francisco Giants rookie pitcher Chris Heston threw a no-hitter Tuesday at Citi Field against the New York Mets, finishing strong by striking out the side in the ninth inning. Here's video of the final out and postgame celebration:
Heston threw 11 strikeouts in all. Only three Mets batters reached base after being hit by a pitch. The Giants won the game 5-0.
Some interesting facts: This is the fourth consecutive season that the Giants have thrown a no-hitter (Matt Cain in 2012, Tim Lincecum in 2013 and 2014). It's the 17th no-hitter in Giants history, and Heston is the third Giants rookie to throw a no-hitter.
