Franky no hits the White Sux tonight! Good thing he did because the worst offense in the league only put up one run thanks to Kueb's solo jack in the second.
Maybe the Twins can turn the season around yet!

6 walks but he got out of it...
that play by Valencia to end the 7th was amazing...

Oh, I also believe this was the first complete game of his career as well.

Amazingly, this wasn't even close to the most walks issued during a no-hitter. Reds pitcher Jim Maloney allowed ten freebies in a ten-inning no-hitter against the Cubbies 19 AUG 1965.

Yes it was. I missed that play live as I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. Saw it on the post game highlights. Good thing Danny has a gun for an arm
Fankie had the second highest ERA in history of all pitcher to throw a no-hitter
