Correction: Nationals-Phillies story (The Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- In a story June 26 about the game between the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Nolan Ryan had come the closest to throwing a second straight no-hitter since Johnny Vander Meer did it in 1938. Ewell Blackwell came the closest, not Ryan.

Pitching Details

• 

  Gio González #47, 5-4

• 

  Adam Morgan #39, 1-0

A corrected version of the story is below:

Scherzer takes perfect game into 6th, Nats beat Phils 5-2

Max Scherzer takes perfect game into 6th, Nationals beat Phillies 5-2

Max Scherzer has been so dominant that teammates are surprised when he actually gives up a hit.
