No Less Than One

I love this fact from the history of Mets one-hitters:

First we must tell how the Mets would lose the second game of Jackson’s doubleheader, 16-3, and something would happen in that one that hasn’t happened in any game since. The baseball gods must have been laughing as Colts pitcher Jim Golden tripled twice in the rout (Golden was golden; he’d go 5-0 against the 120-loss Mets).

Since 1962 — Pitcher multi-triple games: 1, Mets no-hitters: 0.
