Let’s laugh at the Dodgers’ Rich Hill, who loses no-hitter on walk-off homer

Rich Hill was incredible with 9 no-hit innings, but tonight … @jhay_da_man. #Walkoff pic.twitter.com/M15W0kv53S

This is no place to shed tears for Dodgers fans.

That said, Los Angeles starting pitcher Rich Hill didn’t deserve the fate dealt to him Wednesday. He took a perfect game into the ninth inning, when an early error cost him that potential outcome. Then, with the Pirates and Dodgers deadlocked, 0-0, he went after a no-hitter in the 10th but gave up a solo home run to the Pirates’ Josh Harrison.

The walk-off homer was the first allowed by a pitcher chasing a no-hitter in MLB history.

Either way you slice it, that was a heck of a performance by Hill. But a Dodgers loss is a Dodgers loss on the Haboob blog, and so we’re here to laugh at Los Angeles.

First, a picture:

Now let’s head to Twitter:

I think Rich Hill should have intentionally walked four batters and taken the no-no because I fuel my dark heart with angry writer takes

Rich Hill is the first pitcher in the last 100 seasons to throw at least 9 innings, allow 1 or fewer hits with no walks, and get a loss.

Dave Roberts should line up every one of the @Dodgers who stepped to the plate today and let Rich Hill slap them in the face.

Rich Hill:

After 8 innings: Perfect game
After 9 innings: No-hitter
After 10 innings: A loss

Life comes at you fast.

That was Rich Hill's first NL complete game since Sept. 22, 2006.

He lost that one too.

Rich Hill-
2016: Perfect through 7, pulled from game

2017: Hitless through 9, walked off on in 10th pic.twitter.com/fSq7o7DYO9
