On June 17, 2021, with a 10–3 loss to the Giants, the team broke a dubious record of most consecutive road losses in the modern era, with 23 (which would later reach 24, equaling the all-time record of the 1889 Louisville Colonels). The MLB record was previously held by the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics and the 1963 New York Mets. One day later, they set a franchise record with their fifteenth consecutive loss, home or away. That streak would end at 17.
On August 14, 2021, Tyler Gilbert threw the third no-hitter in Diamondbacks history. This was his first Major League start, and the second no-hitter thrown at Chase Field. The Diamondbacks finished the 2021 season in fifth place in the National League West, with a 52–110 record, one game shy of tying their franchise-worst 2004 season, 51–111.
