Diamondbacks rookie Tyler Gilbert made history Saturday night by throwing a no-hitter in his first-ever Major League start.

Who was the last pitcher to throw a complete game no hitter?

The last pitcher to allow no hits in a complete game of seven innings was Sam Jones of the Giants in 1959. The difference, of course, is those were scheduled nine-inning games.
