CINCINNATI -- Homer Bailey fretted for a moment as first baseman Joey Votto reached to pluck the ball out of the air for the final out. What next? Raise both arms in celebration.

Bailey has this no-hitter celebration down pat -- just like his idol, Nolan Ryan.

Another hard-throwin' Texan who wears No. 34 made some no-hit history Tuesday night. Bailey threw his second in 10 months and led the Cincinnati Reds' infield celebration with arms raised after a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

There was a bit of been-there, done-that in the humid night air.

"It's something I've already done, so I knew what to expect," Bailey said of his easy-as-could-be step into rare territory.

Bailey became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer -- still the only big leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates 1-0 in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got another 17 starts later.

Congratulations to Homer Bailey! Two no-hitters in ten months! :o
 
He now has MLB's last 2 no hitters. Very impressive last night. I'm surprised this is only the 1st no-hitter this season, with the way the last few seasons have gone.
 
Congrats to Homer! I wish he played like that every start, though. :P
