There have been seven MLB teams losing even though their pitching threw a no hitter

The Astros are one of those teams losing a no hitter in 1964 when they were the Colt 45s

The Diamondbacks beat the Dodgers 5 times all year last year (5-14).

Throwback to when the Tigers had 3 pitchers named in MLBs top 50 prospects, called up all 3, and now all 3 seem to be done for the season

It's far too late for me to get on my soapbox as to why that shouldn't even be a thing

The cycle is fine, it's an oddity and rare enough.....it's when a player forgoes a triple to stay at 2nd FOR the cycle. 
That's nuts.

A player could miss third base on a HR intentionally to get his 2B ...

I wonder how often a missed cycle is lacking a single?

If the defensive team was paying attention, this wouldn't be a 2B. It would be an out on appeal.

I thought if you missed say 3B on a homer you'd get credit for a double, if appealed.
