Two Perfectos

Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins retired the first fifteen Nationals he faced this evening, striking out three. Alek Manoah is up to 13 straight Rays set down, striking out five. Two perfect games in one night would fit right in with this no-hitter season.

Update: Joey Wendle lines a single with two out in the fifth to end Manoah’s no-hit bid.

Update: Jazz Chisholm commits an error on a Keibert Ruiz grounder, and the perfect game is over in Washington, although the no-hitter is still intact.

Update: Alcantara gets the next three batters and keeps the no-hitter alive through six innings.

Update: With two out in the bottom of the seventh inning, Josh Bell hits a ball off the wall in right for a single. Alcantara’s no hitter is over.
