Max Scherzer almost made history today handing the Pirates their first perfect game in club history. 

Luckily Jose was on hand to pinch hit in the ninth and took one for the team ending the perfect game.  Jay-Hay went on to fly out and the Nationals pretended they were happy with the consolation no hitter 

  
All day Friday, the experts on ESPN and MLB Network were ready to anoint the buccos as the best team in baseball. That came after a 9 game winning streak vs shit teams and they are now riding that momentum in Washington, a potential playoff team, and getting stomped on Friday and no hit today.
