I’m about 50 years past paying attention to baseball, but have to ask is a no hitter with 3 pitchers more rare than with a single one?

Yes, if a pitcher is pitching a no hitter you normally would not pull him. Maybe if he started walking a lot or they started really hitting him hard and the defense makes a couple of great plays to preserve it.

yes, rare indeed. It’s one thing when a single pitcher is on a hot streak, another when relief pitchers come into play. All pitchers have be at their best with a lot of luck.
