Baseball has been around long enough that you don’t often get events that you’ve never seen before. However, on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh, one of the most unique situations in Major League Baseball history occurred. For just the sixth time in the game’s history, the Cincinnati Reds lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates despite throwing a combined no-hitter. Yes, you read that correctly. The Reds lost a game in which they did not allow a hit.
Pittsburgh manufactured a run in the bottom of the eighth thanks to a trio of walks and a ground out.
