Controversy Pre & Post No-Hitter

Corbin Burnes was pulled from yesterday’s game vs Cleveland after 8 Innings & 115 Pitches. Milwaukee was criticized when the move was initially made, given how easy Burnes was mowing through Cleveland’s lineup & were also criticized postgame, with many stating that Burnes deserved to finish off his masterful performance.

Nonetheless, this moment for Milwaukee sums up a great season for the BrewCrew that sees them atop the NL Central Division by 14 Games. Milwaukee’s rotation has been among the league’s best if not THE BEST, with the likes of Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff & Freddy Peralta leading the way.

The Unluckiest Guy Amid No-Hitters in Baseball

No-Hitters are never easy for an offensive squad to see happen to their team, but what is almost never talked about is how that teams pitcher feels about being No-Hit. Cleveland RHP Zach Plesac has not only been apart of being No-Hit as a member of the Indians, but Plesac was on the mound not ONCE, not TWICE…but ALL THREE TIMES they got No-Hit.

Unfortunately for Plesac, being the Starter 3x for the team that gets No-Hit makes it much more tough when you gave some quality starts for your team & that is exactly what Plesac did…at least 2 of those 3 starts*.

May 7th, 2021: Cleveland is No-Hit by Cincinnati

Zach Plesac Final Line - 8.0 IP | 7 K | 3 H | 0 ER | 0 BB

September 11th, 2021: Cleveland is No-Hit by Milwaukee

Zach Plesac Final Line - 6.0 IP | 3 K | 4 H | 2 ER | 2 BB

* = Plesac’s 1st Start when Cleveland was the 2nd team to be No-Hit in 2021 was against Chicago on April 14th, which saw Zach pitch less than 1 Inning (0.2 IP), allowing 6 ER, 7 H & 1 HR.
