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…

allthingsphillysports.blogspot.com 5/7/2008 — Former Phillie pitching prospect Gavin Floyd was always known as a guy full of potential and great stuff, but he was never able to put it all together on the mound.
