Corbin Burnes, Devin Williams, Abner Uribe and Joel Payamps almost added a new entry to the history books Sunday, coming within two outs of throwing the first 11-inning no-hitter MLB has ever seen.
The Brewers failed to complete the no-hitter against the New York Yankees on Sunday. Not only that, but Milwaukee actually lost the contest after no-hitting New York into the 11th.
This game seemed like it would be normal — even for a no-hitter — until the very late innings. Burnes allowed two walks, both in the fifth inning. He made a game-saving play in the bottom of the seventh, sliding on the ground to catch a high hopper hit by Isiah Kiner-Falefa and toss it to first base.
To that point, there was no score. Burnes, who had been brilliant, ended the eighth inning over 100 pitches, so the Brewers sent Williams, their lights-out closer, out for the ninth. He overwhelmed the Yankees and sat down Jake Bauers, D.J. LeMahieu and Aaron Judge in order, including Judge's second strikeout of the day.
But now the game was going to extra innings with no runs scored. Uribe took over for Williams, and he got into trouble after issuing a leadoff walk to Giancarlo Stanton. But the 10th inning ended with an absolutely incredible catch from Sal Frelick, who singlehandedly kept the no-hit bid going even after tumbling over Joey Wiemer in the outfield.
The Brewers managed to score a run in the top of the 11th inning, meaning they just needed to keep the Yankees off the board secure the win.
Payamps entered in the bottom of the 11th and gave up the first hit of the game when Oswaldo Cabrera hit a ball to the far edge of right field. It marked the first time since 1965 a team lost a no-hitter in the 11th inning.
Due to the rule that places a man on second base at the start of every extra inning, the Brewers also lost the shutout — just a half-inning after they had finally scored the first run of the day. The Yankees couldn't add any more runs, and the game went to the 12th.
The Brewers managed two runs in the 12th inning on a double by Wiemer and a sacrifice fly by Andruw Monasterio. Milwaukee couldn't hold that lead either. Stanton hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the frame to tie the game 3-3.
After failing to score in the top of the 13th, the Brewers needed to keep the Yankees off the board in the bottom of the frame. The team couldn't do that. Hoby Milner gave up a double to Kyle Higashioka with one out in the bottom of the 13th to give the Yankees the 4-3 win.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
