Spencer Turnbull's gem Tuesday night was the year's fifth no-hitter, and 2021 is on pace to obliterate the modern record of seven no-hitters in a season. The highest hits per game average since 1900 was in 1930, when it was 10.37 per team. During that stretch, the hits per game numbers stayed between 8.62 and 8.75 every season, but the number of no-hitters varied widely. In that 2006 season, teams averaged 9.28 hits per game.
