What happened Tuesday night to the beat guys doesn’t happen often, and it usually ends the way it did.
But a no-hitter was in progress, deep in progress, when writers decided they had better get to pounding out a quick story to post on the Internet as soon as the final out was recorded.
The one other time that vividly comes to mind in my 11 seasons on the beat was in 2013, when Yu Darvish came within an out of a perfect game at Houston in the second game of the season.
Something named Marwin Gonzalez broke it up as a grounder got through Darvish’s legs and through the infield.
