This is one of those times I can only think to say ‘Get a Life !’

Ain’t no way, no how, not in this lifetime, that you’re gonna seem ‘em wind back the clock and change the outcome of an officially scored and completed game. Never has happened, to my knowledge, and never will ( nor SHOULD it ).

See, doin’ that just ain’t ‘baseball’. There’s no do-overs in baseball. The Ump blew the call ? Deal with it. Sometimes, it goes the other way, too ... Do you know how many so-called ‘perfect games’ were blown by the ‘Official Scorer’. Way too many ...

And ... just in case it hasn’t occurred to you, this is a ‘Game’. It’s not particularly significant WHAT the ‘quality’ of the outcome was or why it went that way. Detroit won; the pitcher records a W. At the end of the season, that’s ALL that will matter.

One Man’s Opinion ...

It will have an impact on the ERA. But not much.

But scorekeepers have been known to reverse their judgments the next day. I don’t see why he can’t ‘review’ the play and declare an error on the pitcher, and at least the kid gets on the no-hitter list. There’s plenty of precedent for scorekeepers changing their minds.
