Shutout (baseball)
A shutout is a baseball game where at least one team does not score any runs. This is not always the same as a no-hitter in which the team does not get any hits.

Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators holds the career record with 110 shutouts.
On June 3, 1995, Pedro Martínez pitched nine scoreless innings but did not record a shutout. The game went to extra innings, and Martínez lost his shutout opportunity when he was replaced in the 10th inning.
Nolan Ryan pitched a record seven no-hitters, all earning him a shutout as well since his opponents failed to score a run in any way. He led the league in shutouts three times and is ranked seventh all-time with 61.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax led the National League with 11 shutouts and also won the league's Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Award in 1963. His 11 shutouts are also the single-season record by a left-handed pitcher.
