Alec Marsh of the Kansas City Royals took a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the New York Yankees on Thursday night.
Marsh allowed a leadoff single to Juan Soto in that frame and then retired the next three batters to conclude his 96-pitch outing.
He left with the 2-0 lead, something the Yankees erased in the eight inning. After New York took a 3-2 advantage, Maikel Garcia hit a game-ending two-run double to give the Royals the victory.
\"I couldn\'t be more proud of those guys,\" manager Matt Quatraro said. \"You\'re down. That\'s a really good club with an elite closer coming in. We\'ve talked so much about it, but I never get tired of bragging about it. The way they hustle, the way they never quit, it\'s inspiring for me to come to work every day to be around these guys.\"
