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.

Tense bunt ends Gavin Williams' perfect game bid as benches clear

Guardians' Gavin Williams carried a perfect game into the sixth when Diamondbacks utility man Tim Tawa attempted a bunt for a hit, triggering confrontations with Patrick Bailey and Brayan Rocchio and a benches-clearing delay; Tawa then singled on the next pitch to end the bid. Cleveland went on to win 5-0 as Williams struck out 10 in 5 2/3 innings, part of a run of double-digit strikeouts. The D-backs defended the bunt, and no suspensions are expected as both teams stay in postseason contention.

Cease’s near no-hitter, Jones’ perfect bid cut short, Ober set for return

Dylan Cease carried a no-hitter into the ninth against the Giants before Heliot Ramos’ leadoff single broke it; Cease had previously no-hit for the Padres in 2024, and Arraez—who once broke up Cease’s no-no in 2022—was in the lineup during the bid. Pirates rookie Jared Jones wrote six perfect innings against the Braves but was pulled for workload reasons after elbow surgery; a single by Mason Montgomery ended the perfect game in the seventh. Bailey Ober is set to return from elbow inflammation to start vs. the Guardians, likely shifting Marco Raya to long relief; Ober’s recent arc includes a May CG shutout followed by rougher starts, with his fastball velocity around 88 mph.

The Pirates won 10-6. Meanwhile, the Padres are interested in trading for White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet, and three perfect game bids in the AL were broken up. The Cubs are also considering options for Christopher Morel due to his defensive struggles.
