CLEVELAND, Ohio — It has been 16,155 days since Len Barker threw the last no-hitter (perfect game) in Cleveland franchise history. Gavin Williams was the latest Guardians pitcher to come close on Wednesday, throwing 8 1/3 hitless frames at the Mets before Juan Soto ended his bid with a solo home run in the ninth.

Two hard-hit comebackers in the first inning had Gavin Williams worrying about the direction his start would take against the New York Mets.
