Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Tyler Anderson, one of the team’s top hurlers so far this year, carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning last night in a fantastic performance, only to have it end in a very Buccos way, as not only was the no-hitter broken up, but soon the shutout bid and then the win entirely went down the drain in a 2-0 loss to the San Diego Padres.
Anderson’s no-no was broken up by a Wil Myers single. And then the shutout bid was lost on Tommy Pham sacrifice fly that scored a walked Manny Machado, and then Myers scored on an Austin Nola double to round out the devastating seventh inning for the Pirates.
