Which Angels left-hander on 2026 deadline lists threw a no-hitter on May 10, 2022?

The story behind the answer

Reid Detmers was the Angels left-hander who threw a no-hitter on May 10, 2022. He blanked the Tampa Bay Rays in a 12–0 Los Angeles victory, recording the 12th no-hitter in Angels franchise history.

Detmers was making only his 11th major-league start and needed 108 pitches to complete the masterpiece. He struck out two batters and allowed just two baserunners: a walk in the sixth inning and a seventh-inning reach on a fielding error. Because no-hitters require zero hits, those baserunners did not end the achievement.

At age 22, Detmers became the youngest Angels pitcher to throw a no-hitter and one of the youngest pitchers in modern MLB history to do so. The performance was especially notable because he later joined Sandy Koufax and Mike Fiers as a pitcher who threw a no-hitter and an immaculate inning in the same season.
