Nasher i might be to drunk but this makes no sense to me. No way there has been 1 pitcher only to pitch a complete game shutout in the month of march in a regular season game. If true that blows my frickin mind!

Babe Ruth.

Most MLB seasons didn't start until April; it has to be in the last 10-15 years.

My guess is Syndergaard.

You know what that's a great point. I thought it only started that in like the last 4-8 years but none the less same point. That has to be the clue. The couple drinks got me again. Good call Drunker.

Makes perfect sense, season usually starts in April, if it starts in March it would only be the last few days

I'm surprised it was in 2003; I thought it would have been later than that.

That wasn't a no hitter he threw 2 one against the Rockies and one against the Orioles neither in March tho

Nomo is the correct answer, 2003

LT got it, Nomo pitched his complete game shutout on March 31, 2003.

On March 30, 2018 Alex Wood, another Dodger pitched 8 innings of shutout ball allowing just one hit against SF and got a no decision loss.
Jansen in relief blew the game allowing Joe Panik to crush a solo homer off of him in the ninth.

Johnny Cueto started for the Giants on that opening day, matched Alex Wood pitch for pitch going 7 innings of shutout ball, also allowing 1 hit.

The two starters that day went 15 innings combined, allowing 2 hits between them allowed no walks and no runs.
That people is known as an old school pitchers due.

Here's the box.
