Cubs announcer Boog Sciambi mentioned he was closely following Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams' no-hitter during the Cubs game against the Reds. As Williams struck out the Mets’ Francisco Lindor, Sciambi expressed his concern about possibly mixing up the games. Shortly after his mention, Juan Soto hit a home run, ending Williams' no-hit bid. Sciambi humorously remarked on the likelihood of jinxing a no-hitter from across the country, leading to a change in his attention to the games.
"I'm just gonna go full disclosure. Gavin Williams is throwing a no-hitter right now for the Cleveland Guardians. He just struck out Lindor."
"You can jinx a no-hitter from a thousand miles away."
"Seventy seconds later, Sciambi broke the news that Soto had just hit a home run off of Williams to end his no-hit bid."
"I'm scared that I'm going to call the play-by-play for that game."
