Until a bit more than a month ago, all the talk around baseball was about the rash of no-hitters and the pandemic of strikeouts plaguing the game. Then, all that talk of no-nos disappeared from the radar screen, only to suddenly reappear a few weeks ago when Zach Davies and his Chicago Cubs bullpen crew ganged up on the Los Angeles Dodgers for a record tying seventh no-hitter of the season. On that very same night, Nick Pivetta of the Red Sox was even more impressive than Davies, as he lasted until two outs in the seventh inning pitching no-hit ball. He still hasn t given up any hits he was removed from the game by manager Alex Cora. Unfortunately for the Sox, though, their bullpen couldn t close the deal, and they lost both the game and their first place standing to the Tampa Bay Rays.
