Minnesota Twins' Francisco Liriano pitched the 2011 season's first no-hitter of the season on Tuesday night (3 May) in a 2 hour nine minutes game against the Chicago White Sox. He had been having a tough year, pitching for 1-4 and 9.13 ERA. He is only the 5th Dominican in all MLB history to achieve this feat, the others being Juan Marichal, Ramon Martinez, Jose Jimenez and Ubaldo Jimenez. Liriano has been with the Minnesota Twins since 2005. In 2010 he played for the Leones del Escogido that won the league championship that season. In the game against the Chicago White Sox he walked 6 batters and threw 123 pitches. It was his first complete game in 95 Major League starts. The game ended 1-0.
