| 1997 | In tribute to Rex Barney, who died of cancer today, the Orioles play their game against Oakland at Camden Yards without a public address announcer.

Hisashi Iwakuma no-hits the Orioles, facing 29 batters in the Mariners' 3-0 victory at Safeco Field. The 34-year-old Japanese right-hander's 116-pitch gem is the franchise's fifth no-hitter and the first since Felix Hernandez threw a 1-0 no-no against the Rays in 2015.
