What happened: The sequence came in the 2010 National League Division Series opener against Cincinnati. Votto stepped out twice in the same plate appearance trying to disrupt Halladay's rhythm.

Why it matters: It remains the second no-hitter in postseason history. The anniversary falls with the 2026 postseason under way.

By the numbers: Postseason no-hitters: 2 in MLB history; Halladay vs. Cincinnati, 2010 NLDS Game 1, no hits allowed.

What to watch: Anniversary coverage continues alongside the 2026 postseason schedule.
