4/16/67:
One of the original Baltimore “Baby Birds,” left-hander Steve Barber carries a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Angels before Jim Fregosi breaks it up with a double. Barber will close out a one-hit, 3-0 victory. Two weeks from today, Barber’s chronic control problems will produce one of baseball history’s strangest games. He’ll pitch no-hit ball for eight and two-thirds innings against Detroit but walk 10 men, including 3 in the ninth when the Tigers push over two runs without benefit of a base hit to beat Barber and the Orioles, 2-1.
