I missed the play and I'll watch it later but the announcers were questioning the official scorers decision to score Cabrera's hit as a single instead of an error since Severino ended up throwing a 1 hitter.

Since it happened in the second inning the scorer ruled it a hit instead of an error by IKF. If it had happened in the 7th inning the scorer might have been less forgiving.

As the importance of baseball player statistics increased, teams began to pressure writer-scorers for favorable scoring decisions for their players in games played at home stadiums, and a home team scoring bias was perceived by many coaches, players, and writers. Controversies related to perceived bias or errors in scoring have led to questions about important baseball records, including several no-hitters
