On June 17 2015 — 2015 – Michael Pineda makes a bid for a no-hitter until Christian Yelich of the Marlins leads off the 7th inning with a home run; Pineda leaves after two more outs, getting credit for a 2 – 1 Yankees win, although, even if he had not given up a hit, he would likely not have had the chance to pitch any deeper into the game due to pitch count concerns. Miami almost ties the game in the 8th, but Adeiny Hechevarria’s run on a fielder’s choice by Dee Gordon is overturned after Yankees manager Joe Girardi successfully challenges the call. Alex Rodriguez has a pair of hits for New York, bringing him within 3 of the 3,000 hit club.
