In Mets’ 51st Year, Finally, Their First No-Hitter - NYTimes.com - Tyler Kepner - For 8,019 games, across 51 seasons, it had never happened for the Mets. Not at the Polo Grounds, not at Shea Stadium, not at Citi Field, not on the road. Not for Ryan or Seaver, not for Koosman or Matlack, not for Gooden or Cone, not for Leiter or Glavine. No Mets pitcher had ever thrown a no-hitter. Not until Friday. Johan Santana finally did it, twirling an 8-0 gem against the St. Louis Cardinals, the defending World Series champions. He struck out eight, walked five and threw 134 pitches, 19 more than Manager Terry Collins had said would be his limit.
