CLEVELAND, Ohio — It has been 16,155 days since Len Barker threw the last no-hitter (perfect game) in Cleveland franchise history. Gavin Williams was the latest Guardians pitcher to come close on Wednesday, throwing 8 1/3 hitless frames at the Mets before Juan Soto ended his bid with a solo home run in the ninth.

Two hard-hit comebackers in the first inning had Gavin Williams worrying about the direction his start would take against the New York Mets.

The starting pitcher was two outs away from grabbing the first no-hitter in franchise history since 1981. However, New York Mets slugger Juan Soto hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, shattering the hearts of Guardians fans; sound familiar?
