Liriano Puts 2011 First No Hitter In The Books


Francisco Liriano etched his name in Major League Baseball history by pitching a no hitter. The no hitter was far from perfect as Liriano walked 6 batters, while striking out only 2. Minnesota defeated the Chicago Whitesox 1-0. Both teams came in struggling and near the bottom of the AL Central trailing the likes of Cleveland and Kansas City. A few other pitchers have come close early on this season in terms of no hit bits, then eventually lost them in late inning. This type of performance could cause a potential turnaround, in the defending AL Central champions season.
