On Saturday June 9 against the Greenville Drive, Vizcaino threw six innings of no hit ball in his first start of the season. He struck out nine and was perfect through the first five innings. The team's bid for a combined no hitter ended with a single with nobody out in the top of the ninth. The game ended with a combined one hitter and a 7-1 victory for the GreenJackets.
Vizcaino originally signed with the Giants in 2013 and spent the first three seasons with the Giants Rookie League team in the Dominican Summer League. He spent the majority of the 2016 season with the Short Season Salem-Keizer Volcanoes before being called up to the GreenJackets on August 24. He made two starts for the GreenJackets last season. He began this season in Extended Spring Training and was reassigned to Augusta on May 18.
