On June 15, 1938, in the first ever night game played at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds led his team to a 6-0 win with a no hit performance against the Dodgers. Just four days earlier he had tossed a no no in a 3-0 win over the Boston Braves at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, making him the first and only pitcher in the history of the game to throw consecutive no hitters.
