That's an extremely unfortunate way to lose a no-hitter.
Johnny Cueto was cruising through the first five innings of the Giants' game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night, allowing no hits with one walk. San Francisco also provided him with five runs of support up to that point, so everything was looking great.
Then Kike Hernandez led off the bottom of the sixth with a fly ball to left field. At any other time of day, it would have been a routine flyout. But at dusk, Hunter Pence completely lost the ball in the sky, and that was the end of the no-no.

That must have been understandably frustrating for Cueto. At the same time, you know Pence is beating himself up about it more than anyone ever could.

The unfortunate occurrence seemed to get Cueto off his game, as he followed Mookie Betts' RBI groundout with two consecutive walks. Then Justin Turner dealt a crushing blow with a three-run homer.
Cueto, who was visibly limping at multiple points earlier in the outing, was then pulled from the game.
