On July 1, 2025, Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams recorded an unusual inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, retiring three baserunners via “non-plate appearance outs” in one inning; one at home plate and two on pickoffs at first base—marking the first such occurrence for Cleveland since at least 1920, and the first in MLB since April 13, 1985. ^[9]
