[edit] Biographical Information
Mike McCormick threw a rain-shortened "no-hitter" on June 12, 1959 despite allowing a hit - the no-hitter went five innings, then he allowed a hit in the sixth, which was eliminated from the official records as rain cancelled the game before the inning was completed.
He later won the 1967 National League Cy Young Award. He was the only San Francisco Giants hurler to win a Cy Young Award until Tim Lincecum in 2008 and 2009.
