4/7/79:
Ken Forsch of the Houston Astros throws a no-hitter against the Atlanta Braves, 6-0, at the Astrodome. Forsch joins his brother, Bob, who tossed a no-no for the Cardinals just last April, as the only brothers to each hurl big league no-hitters. Ken Forsch gets 14 ground ball outs, doesn’t really surrender a tough chance and walks only two. He retires Rowland Office, Jerry Royster and Glenn Hubbard without incident in the ninth inning to record the sixth no-hitter in Houston’s 18-year franchise history.
