Shelby has company in the no-so-close club

Other pitchers with tough-luck outcomes in would-be no-hitters include Yankees right-hander Bill Bevens, who is the only pitcher to lose a no-no with two outs in the ninth inning of a postseason game, according to Baseball Round Table.

Further, Dave Stieb famously had no-hitters ruined with one out remaining in back-to-back outings to finish the season in September 1988. The Pirates' Harvey Haddix in 1959 retired the first 36 hitters he faced against the Milwaukee Braves to carry a perfect game into the 13th inning, but he was outdueled by Milwaukee's Lew Burdette, who threw a 13-inning, 12-hit shutout.
