Don WilsonĀ is taken out after eight innings of no-hit ball

1974 – Don WilsonĀ is taken out after eight innings of no-hit ball. He is behind, 2-1. Two walks and an error have put Cincinnati ahead. Ironies abound. Wilson is approaching a rare third career no-hitter. The man who hit into the error is Pete Rose, who hit into the run-scoring error that madeĀ Ken JohnsonĀ a no-hit loser in 1964. The Houston manager isĀ Preston GomezĀ who similarly yanked Clay Kirby during a no-hit bid while with San Diego. Kirby is watching from the Reds’ dugout.Ā Mike CosgroveĀ gives up a meaningless single in the ninth that breaks up the bid. Houston loses. Gomez hears the boos.
