Minnesota Twins pitcher Francisco Liriano threw the League’s first no-hitter this season in his team’s matchup against the Chicago White Sox Tuesday.
However, Liriano’s no-hitter was not flawless; he walked six batters and needed 123 pitches to finish the night.
As a strong contender for a mid-season trade to New York, Liriano’s performance Tuesday now leaves him desired by several other teams as well.
“While the Yankees have long been the rumored favorite for a midseason acquisition of Liriano’s services (due to their offseason Cliff Lee-related failures), this historic performance likely means that the Yanks will have company. And lots of it.” –bleacherreport.com
