Oh, Hill No! Dodgers Fans On Social Media Feel For Pitcher After Perfect Game Slips Away
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Dodgers lefty Rich Hill lost his perfect game on an error in the ninth inning, then lost his no-hitter on a leadoff home run in the 10th by Josh Harrison that sent the Pittsburgh Pirates over Los Angeles 1-0 Wednesday night.
Dodgers fans, and even non-fans, on social media were quick to sympathizes with the pitcher's disappointment.
Here is a sample of what fans were saying:
The Dodgers hitters owe Rich Hill...something. How do you make up for killing a perfect game? No runs scored and an error in the 9th.

Rich Hill again is such a beast and deserved so much better. There shouldn't have been a 10th, our team let him down. @Dodgers

What an awesome game by Rich Hill! @Dodgers sure picked a bad day to score zero runs, waste 9 perfect innings, and make him a loser.

Feel bad for Rich Hill. Dodgers could've helped him out with some runs.

Rich Hill took a perfect game into the 8th inning in Pittsburgh and would've lost it to this Josh Bell drive if not for Utley's great catch. https://t.co/Xg8qYJ4zVK

Rich Hill's performance for the @Dodgers is the most heartbreaking news of the day.

Rich Hill took a perfect game into the ninth, a no-hitter into the 10th, finished with a one-hitter... and yet gets tagged with the "loss."
