🔥 No-Hitter Stolen? Max Fried Controversy Sparks Outrage

Perhaps the biggest controversy came when Max Fried’s potential no-hitter was snatched away due to what many are calling a blatantly wrong scoring decision. Instead of crediting an error, the scorer ruled a play a hit — wiping away Fried’s historic shot at glory.

Fans erupted:

“MLB needs to fix scoring protocols — you just stole history,” another fan wrote.
