 CLEVELAND (AP) — Milwaukee ace Corbin Burnes combined with reliever Josh Hader to pitch baseball’s record ninth no-hitter this season, breaking a mark set when pitchers began throwing overhand in 1884 as the Brewers beat the Cleveland Indians 3-0.
Burnes struck out 14 with 115 pitches over eight innings, taking a perfect game into the seventh while overpowering the Indians, who were no-hit for the third time in 2021. This time is was by Burnes — who has become a Cy Young contender as the Brewers run away with the NL Central — and Hader, one of the game’s top closers.
It was the second no-hitter in franchise history, joining Juan Nieves’ in 1987.
Milwaukee also moved to 33 games above .500 and saw its magic number to clinch the NL Central to eight games. The post Brewers’ Burnes, Hader combine for MLB record 9th no-hitter first appeared on 96.7FM 1670AM The Zone | WOZN - Madison, WI. |
