    Chris Heston couldn't recall ever throwing a no-hitter, not in youth baseball, not in the minor leagues and certainly not in the majors. Now he was three outs away.

    "I definitely threw more in the backyard than I have in real life, that's for sure," he said.

    He plunked Anthony Recker on the left shoulder with his first pitch in the ninth inning. Then the 27-year-old rookie right-hander, filling a gap this year on theSan Francisco Giants' pitching staff, settled down again, working the strike zone in and out, up and down, just as he had with catcher Buster Posey all night long.

    Making the 13th start of his big league career, Heston threw called third strikes past pinch-hitter Danny Muno, Curtis Granderson and Ruben Tejada, completing a 5-0 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night and the major leagues' first no-hitter since Washington's Jordan Zimmermann on the final day of the 2014 regular season.
