Lynn loses no-hit bid on controversial scorer's decision

Chicago White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before giving up an RBI knock with one out.

The only problem is it appeared White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson should have made a play on the ground ball.

Lynn had surrendered three walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out three through 5 1/3 innings against his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa is also facing his former team for the first time in his career. The 76-year-old Hall of Famer spent 16 seasons as St. Louis' skipper, winning a pair of World Series championships.

Scorers' decisions can be changed during or after the game. Following Goldschmidt's hit, Lynn surrendered another base knock later that frame to Yadier Molina.

Lynn, 34, wound up throwing seven innings, giving up one run on three hits and three walks while striking out four and earning the win.

The young 2021 season has already featured six no-hitters, starting with San Diego Padres righty Joe Musgrove on April 9. Since then, White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon, Baltimore Orioles ace John Means, Cincinnati Reds veteran Wade Miley, Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull, and New York Yankees righty Corey Kluber have also completed the feat.
