Funny, I looked back at Homer's first no-hitter, and I didn't start the thread (that credit goes to cumberlandreds) but I provided the PBP in a thread completely dead for the first 7 innings.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

The play by Votto was fascinating. If he fires across the infield and doesn't get the runner, I assume it would have been scored a hit??? However, with a home scorer, and the game in "no-hitter mode" was there anyway it could have been ruled a FC without an out? I heard two different talking heads speak of there being "no great defensive play in the game". I disagree.
So, in a word, no. He would not be credited with a hit. At least that is how I am reading this rule.Fielder's choice is defined in MLB Rule 2, "Definitions", as "the act of a fielder who handles a fair grounder and, instead of throwing to first base to put out the batter-runner, throws to another base in an attempt to put out a preceding runner." FC is recorded for the batter-runner if he reaches first base safely regardless of whether the attempt to put out the other runner(s) is successful. A batter who reaches first base safely as the result of a fielder's choice is not credited with a hit or a time on base.

Rosie Raisor. Yep, the cat is officially out of the bag now.
Servo doesn't suck any longer! He's good again!
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I was at the beach and didn't get to watch the game but I followed along on my phone. Congrats to Homer on his second no-hitter! What a game. I really hope the Reds find a way to sign him long-term.
