I'll take a stab at it.........

#1. Homered twice in the All-Star game.
#2. Hit for the cycle on July 4 at Atlanta in a extra-inning, rain-delayed game.
#3. Ended the World Series in Game 6 with a home run.
#4. Had six staright hits in early July, each of which was a home run.
#5. Pitched last of his record 7 no-hitters.

Nolan's last no-hitter came much later than 1981. I was an Astro fan back then and I remember he led the NL in ERA that year.

You are correct --- I meant pitched his record-breaking fifth no-hitter. Sorry, I had a brain cramp..........

I was doing it from memory from something I had read somewhere and it looks like it was wrong. My answer was also poorly worded -- I meant to say that he had a span of hits, each of which was a homer (not necessarily consecutive hits in consecutive at-bats).

It looks like he homered on June 29 in his last AB and then hit three on July 4 and then homered in his first AB on July 5. So in this stretch he was 5 for 19 with 5 homers.

I'd read that it was 6 but I only see 5.

Hope this clears things up...........
