Homer Bailey has done it, again. The Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher threw a no-hitter against San Francisco in a 3-0 win on Tuesday, his second one in 10 months. Bailey (5-6) became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer, still the only big leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates 1-0 in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got another 17 starts later. The last pitcher to throw one no-hitter and then another before anyone else in the majors accomplished the feat was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, according to STATS. ”Every dog has its day twice, I guess,” Bailey said.
