The Detroit Tigers put the baseball world on no-hitter watch in three consecutive games due to their struggles against three right-handed pitchers from the Philadelphia Phillies. Aaron Nola took a no-hitter into the seventh inning Monday, and Taijuan Walker took a no-hitter into the fifth inning Tuesday.
In Thursday's series finale, Zack Wheeler took a no-hitter into the eighth inning.
Tyler Nevin, an unlikely hero, broke up Wheeler's attempt at a historic accomplishment with a one-out single to right field in the eighth. The hit sparked a comeback, but the comeback wasn't enough.
The Tigers lost, 3-2, when right-handed reliever Alex Lange allowed two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
