Gavin Floyd's no-hit bid lasted until the ninth this time. Joe Mauer doubled with one out off Chicago's young right-hander for the Minnesota Twins' only hit and Floyd had to settle for a 7-1 victory Tuesday night as the White Sox ended a six-game losing streak. Floyd (3-1) was taken out to a standing ovation after Mauer's double to left-center and Bobby Jenks came on to get the final two outs. [link]

Published 5/7/2008 by Tuffy at SPORTSbyBROOKS

For the second time in this young season, Gavin Floyd nearly pitches a no-hitter. Juan Uribe, rumored to be on his way out of town after a costly baserunning mistake in Monday’s game, sparks Thursday’s comeback win with a go-ahead home run and a hard-nosed slide at second ...

White Sox righthander Gavin Floyd pushed all that talk aside, coming two outs from the majors' first no-hitter this season in a 7-1 ...

Do the White Sox have an ace up their sleeve? It’s beginning to look like that is the case, as young Gavin Floyd came just two outs away from pitching a no-hitter last night. He was just five outs away from a no-hitter earlier in the year against Detroit.

For the second time this season Gavin Floyd came within out of pitching no-hitter. Last night his bid was broken up in the ninth inning on a Joe Mayer double. The White Sox had the game in hand by this point as Floyd moved to 3-1 on the season after allowing just a lone run.
