Five Tampa Bay Rays pitchers combined to no-hit the Cleveland Indians in seven innings Wednesday night, winning the second game of a doubleheader 4-0. The game was shortened to seven innings under pandemic rules.

The pitchers who put together the no-hitter were: Collin McHugh (two innings); Josh Fleming (two and 2/3 innings); Diego Castillo (one out); Matt Wisler (one inning) and Pete Fairbanks (one inning).

However, the game won’t go into the official list of no-hitters, since it wasn’t at least nine innings.

 

Mats' deGrom Won't Pitch At All-Star Game

New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom, currently the best pitcher in baseball, said Wednesday he’s not going to the All-Star Game.
The Cy Young frontrunner told reporters, “I’ve thought about it and obviously being named to an All-Star team is a great honor, but I’m just going to take that time and just enjoy it with my family . . . and get healthy for the second half.”
deGrom has a 1.08 ERA and leads the majors in strikeouts with 146.
