Francisco Liriano Throws No-No!

[Cam Cam]

In his decade-long professional career, Francisco Liriano(notes) had never thrown a shutout or even a complete game. Not at any level, not in any league.

So much for those old stats. Now, he’s Mr. No-Hitter.

The struggling Minnesota lefty pitched the first no-hitter in the majors this season, hanging on Tuesday night for a most unlikely gem and a 1-0 win over Chicago White Sox.

He threw very few strikeouts, the Twins defense deserves the credit. Still, an amazing pitching performance involving the Twins winning and the White Sox losing.

It's pathetic that he couldn't pitch a perfect game. Typical Minnesotan, I suppose.

Actually,209, he's from the Dominican Republic.

Out of all the Twins pitchers, he would have been the last one I would have guessed would throw a perfect game. He's really struggled this year.

And as a bonus, it came against the Sox.

If he played in the DR, I'm sure he's be able to pitch a perfect game easily. But he lives in Minnesota, so he's cursed.
