Open Extended ReactionsNEW YORK -- Two hard hit comebackers in the first inning Wednesday afternoon had Gavin Williams worrying about the direction his start would take against the New York Mets. Williams came within two outs of Cleveland's first no-hitter in 44 years before Juan Soto homered with one out in the ninth. Cleveland's Gavin Williams threw a career-high 126 pitches in 8 2/3 innings against the Mets, giving up just one hit -- a ninth-inning home run by Juan Soto. "At one point I didn't even care about the pitch count," said Williams, whose previous career high for pitches was 109. "Kind of Gavin Williams' coming-out party this year," catcher Austin Hedges said.
