Braves' Sean Newcomb Loses No-Hitter in 9th Inning Against Dodgers

Atlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb lost a no-hitter with two outs in 9th inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

The gem was broken up when Dodgers shortstop Chris Taylor hit a clean single to left on a 94 mph fastball.

Newcomb (10–5) had a season–high 134 pitches and struck out eight while walking only one batter in Atlanta's 4–1 victory.

Newcomb was attempting to throw the fourth no-hitter this season and the first since Seattle Mariners starter James Paxton accomplish the feat on May 3 against Toronto Blue Jays.

The Dodgers themselves had a combined no–hitter on May 4 when Walker Buehler, Tony Cingrani, Yimi García and Adam Liberatore combined to shut down the San Diego Padres.
