"walked six and struck out two"

That's one of the luckier nonos I've heard of in awhile.

Congrats nevertheless.

Andy Hawkins of the Yankees pitched a "no-hitter" back in 1990 in a game he lost by a 4-0 score on several walks and a couple of huge errors. Major League Baseball ended up taking the no-hitter away from him some years later when they went back and purged the record books of any no-hitters where the pitcher didn't pitch a full nine-inning game.

Most of those purged from the record books were rain-shortened games. Hawkins lost his because the Yankees were the visiting team that game, and their opponent didn't have to bat in the ninth inning. LOL.

Was bailed out by great defense and double plays all game long.

First thing the Twins have done well all season. They have been positively putrid.

Edwin Jackson, Liriano’s counterpart tonight, walked eight batters, struck out six and threw almost 150 pitches during his no-hitter against the Rays last year.
