Rich Hill walked off the mound, toward the Los Angeles Dodgers dugout, and to his right the Pirates piled on Josh Harrison at home plate. Hill carried a no-hitter for 27 outs Wednesday night at PNC Park, and still he lost. Harrison clobbered a leadoff, walk-off home run in the 10th inning, breaking a scoreless deadlock and Hill’s no-hit bid in a 1-0 Pirates win.
Hill allowed one hit in nine-plus innings. He struck out 10.
The goat was third baseman Logan Forsythe, who scotched the perfect game by booting Jordy Mercer’s ground ball leading off the ninth inning.
