that Theriot didn’t throw out Pence on a grounder in his previous start. Supposedly led to Zambrano showing him up and players not being happy about it.

The first 9-10 days of this month sure felt like that for the Cubs
or at least, the 2 out with RISP variety…

I remember two teams in the 1970s hooking up for back to back no-nos
they each won a game though, not the same team for two no-nos by their own pitchers…

Not that I've found
I’m looking at the Baseball Refence Play Index from 1956 on, though.

The same team has never had two no-nos in consecutive games
SF and St Louis alternated no nos with each other on consecutive days in 1968 I think and in 1917 St.Louis Browns no no the White Sox on consecutive days but there was a double-header game in between
