No No In Chicago

Congrats to Twins lefty Francisco Liriano for no-hitting the White Sox in Chicago tonight. Minnesota won the game 1-0 so the pressure on Liriano was not just the no-hitter but also winning the game. A bloop and a blast and the entire performance would have been wiped out. No margin for error for sure.
Jason Kubel's 4th inning homer was all Liriano needed. He struck out 2 batters in his first career complete game. I'm a little hesitant to give Liriano's no-hitter the "masterpiece" title though since he did walk 6 batters. Still, a no-hitter is a no-hitter.
I guess he's healthy again after struggling with arm troubles the past few seasons. Anyway, not only was it the 5th no-no in Twins history, more importantly it was a win for Minnesota, a win they desperately needed. The victory snapped a 6-game slide.
