one perfect game, a special subcategory of no-hitter, has been pitched in red sox history. as defined by major league baseball, "in a perfect game, no batter reaches any base during the course of the game." every opposing batter is retired. this feat was achieved by cy young in 1904. young's perfect game, pitched on may 5, 1904, also was the first no-hitter in red sox history; the most recent red sox no-hitter was thrown by jon lester on may 19, 2008.

in morehead went 8-15 and his era ballooned to 4.97. in he tied for the american league lead with 18 losses, against 10 victories, for a red sox team that finished next-to-last, with 100 losses. on september 16 of the latter year, the same day the red sox fired pinky higgins as general manager, morehead no-hit the cleveland indians 2-0 before only 1,247 fans in a day game at fenway park, the lone baserunner coming on rocky colavito's second-inning walk. not until hideo nomo in would another red sox pitch a no-hitter, and the next no-hitter at fenway park wouldn't come until (derek lowe), it was the fourth no-hitter by a red sox pitcher in a ten-year period, with mel parnell pitching one in and earl wilson and bill monbouquette both pitching one in . parnell's and wilson's no-hitters, like morehead's, had also been pitched at fenway park—one of major league baseball's most notorious hitter-friendly stadiums. it would be another 37 years before a red sox pitcher threw a no-hitter at fenway.
