‘This is surreal’: Alex Cobb loses no-hitter bid with two outs in the ninth

• Pitcher agonizingly close to majors' fifth no-hitter of 2023
• Giants beat Reds 6-1 as Cobb pitches complete game

Afterward, having come agonizingly to pitching a no-hitter with his family watching in the stands, Alex Cobb took a moment to thank center fielder Austin Slater for the sensational diving catch that preserved the bid.

Cobb did the same with San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler, offering up some gratitude for being given the opportunity. Kapler stuck with Cobb even as the pitch count went higher than it had ever been.
