Bunt attempt during perfect-game bid sparks benches-clearing drama in Guardians-Diamondbacks clash
Guardians beat the Diamondbacks 5-0 as Gavin Williams carried a perfect game bid into the sixth; Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa attempted a bunt, fouled it, then singled, which sparked heated chatter and a benches-clearing incident between managers Stephen Vogt and Torey Lovullo. The dispute centered on unwritten rules about bunting with a no-hit bid, while Williams later joined a rare club with five straight starts of at least 10 strikeouts and one or fewer walks. The game was paused by a rain delay as the tarp was prepared.
