Tex Carleton, who pitched a no-hit game for the Rochester Red Wings on September 14, 1929, pitched a no-hitter for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1940.[1]

Since the inception of the Rochester Red Wings Minor League Baseball team, based in Rochester, New York, in 1899, its pitchers have pitched twenty no-hitters, which include two perfect games, a MiLB record. A no-hit game occurs when a pitcher (or pitchers) allows no hits over the course of a game.[2] A perfect game, a much rarer feat, occurs when no batters reach base by a hit or any other means, such as a walk, hit by pitch, or error.[2]

Rochester's seven no-hitters were accomplished by a total of twenty-four pitchers. eighteen were complete games pitched by a lone pitcher, and two were combined no-hitters. Six occurred while the team was a member of the Double-A classification, and fourteen while at Triple-A, though each level was the highest level of the minors at the time.

One was pitched at the Red Wings' second home ballpark, the Bay Street Ball Grounds, where the team played from 1908 to 1926. Seven was pitched at the Red Wings' third home ballpark, Silver Stadium, where the team played from 1926 to 1996. Finally, one have been pitched at Innovative Field, where they have played since 1997. Ten were pitched in road games. 2 of these games were perfect althought one is disputed on whether or not the game continued due to weather.
