Floyd flirts with history

 
Gavin Floyd of the White Sox took a no-hitter into the ninth inning tonight before Joe Mauer’s one-out double. The particularly odd thing about this game was that the Twins scored a run in the fourth inning on a walk, an error, a flyout that advanced a runner to third and a sacrifice fly. Floyd could have joined an illustrious list of pitchers to give up a run in a no-hitter. Here are those pitchers, at least since 1900… Darryl Kile, Astros vs. Mets, 9/8/93 - won, 7-1 Matt Young, Red Sox at Indians, 4/12/92 - lost, 2-1* Andy Hawkins, Yankees at White Sox, 7/1/90 - lost, 4-0* Joe Cowley, White Sox at Angels, 9/19/86 - won, 7-1 George Culver, Reds at Phillies, 7/29/68 - won, 6-1 Dean Chance, Twins at Indians, 8/25/67 - won, 2-1 Ken Johnson, Colt .45s vs. Reds, 4/23/64 - lost, 1-0 Don Nottebart, Colt .45s vs. Phillies, 5/17/63 - won, 4-1 Bob Feller, Indians vs. Tigers, 7/1/51 - won, 2-1 Dazzy Vance, Dodgers vs. Phillies, 9/13/25 - won, 10-1 George Mogridge, Yankees at Red Sox, 4/24/17 ...
