Looking For No. 200

So far this year, six pitchers have gone into the ninth inning of a game with a shot at the 200th big league no-hitter of the modem era. But such flirtations with fame should occur less often in the next two months because no-hitters are more likely to happen in the first and fourth quarters of the season.
