Milwaukee Brewers
CLEVELAND, OH (WSAU) — Corbin Burnes recorded 14 strikeouts over eight innings to set up a perfect 9th by Josh Hader- who completed baseball’s 9th no-hitter this year and a 3-0 win by the Brewers on Saturday.
Burnes had a perfect game going until the 7th when Myles Straw drew a leadoff walk on four pitches. He advanced to second on a ground ball two batters later but was stranded when Franmil Reyes went down swinging to end the inning.
Burnes did not get a chance to finish the no-no himself, as he was pulled after the 8th inning for Hader. The Brewers’ closer opened the frame with a strikeout of Oscar Merchado before Austin Hedges flew out to the second baseman in foul territory. Straw then went down swinging for the 27th and final out, completing the no-hitter.
Milwaukee’s offense was provided by Christian Yelich, who brought home a run on a double in the first inning then scored on a sac fly by Omar Narvaez. Rowdy Tellez provided an insurance run in the second on a double to score Daniel Vogelbach.
Saturday’s game was just the second no-hitter in Brewers’ history. Juan Nieves tossed the first back in 1987 over Baltimore.
The same two teams will wrap up their three-game interleague set this afternoon. Coverage will be heard on 93.9 The Game starting at 11:35- with Packers coverage on WSAU this afternoon.
