Texas Rangers pitcher Colby Lewis is in the midst of a resurgent 2016 campaign at age 36, and it got even better Thursday. He narrowly missed a no-hitter and a perfect game during the Rangers' 5-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Lewis lost his perfect game when he walked Yonder Alonso in the eighth, his no-hitter when he allowed a double to Max Muncy to start off the bottom of the ninth and his shutout when Coco Crisp drove Muncy home on a double.
Although he just missed history, Lewis still pitched a complete game and allowed a single run on two hits.
