Today in 1938: Johnny Vander Meer of the Reds pitched his 2nd straight no-hitter, a feat that's never been duplicated
Despite walking 8 batters, he beat the Dodgers, 6-0, in Brooklyn’s first night game at Ebbets Field
The final batter he faced: Leo Durocher

Within the last 7 days, the @Dodgers have gotten:
5.1 shutout IP from Yamamoto
6.0 shutout IP from Ohtani
7.0 shutout IP from Sasaki
No other team in MLB history has had 3 different Japanese-born pitchers deliver a scoreless start over an entire season (let alone in one week).
