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.
