Gavin Williams’ Historic No-Hit Bid Falls Just Short Against Mets
Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, carrying a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the New York Mets before Juan Soto broke it up with a solo home run. The dramatic moment unfolded at Citi Field with just two outs remaining in the Guardians’ 4-1 victory.
Williams, 26, threw a career-high 126 pitches, demonstrating unwavering resolve. “At that point I didn’t even care about the pitch count,” Williams stated after the game, emphasizing his desire to complete the historic feat. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt echoed the sentiment, allowing Williams to continue despite his high pitch count, recognizing the rare opportunity for a no-hitter, a feat not achieved by the Guardians franchise since 1981.
The near no-hitter captivated the crowd, with Williams receiving a standing ovation from Mets fans as he exited the game. Despite the heartbreak of falling short, Williams’ dominant outing underscores his potential and marks a memorable moment in the young pitcher’s career.
