"That's just a brutally bad route and effort from Conforto there. Statcast had that 'double' at just 89.9 MPH off the bat at a 32-degree launch angle. And that results in an expected batting average of .050. You gotta catch that ball."
"Even though that batter, CJ Kayfus, made his way to third base later in the inning, Nico Hoerner cut him down at the plate to preserve the tie. Even still, it led to extra pitches, extra base runners, and extra stress."
"Cabrera was pulled with the bases loaded to end his day. Caleb Thielbar got Cabrera out of the jam and Cabrera's final line still looks excellent: 5.2 IP, 1H, 0ER, 5BB, 4K."
Edward Cabrera lost his no-hitter due to a misplay by Michael Conforto, who has been struggling at the plate.

The Cubs managed to preserve the tie with a key play by Nico Hoerner, cutting down a runner at the plate. The situation led to increased stress and extra pitches for Cabrera, ultimately resulting in his removal from the game with the bases loaded.
