Yesterday’s Highlights
James Shields, in his second straight outstanding outing, held the Twins hitless for 6.1 innings yesterday — but the Sox came out on the losing end of a 5–3 decision in the series finale at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Shields’ outing is the longest no-hit bid for a Sox pitcher since José Quintana on May 21, 2013 vs. the Red Sox (also 6.1) and second-longest no-hit bid of his career (7.0 on August 2, 2009 for the Rays vs. Royals).
And how about this…take a look below at Nicky Delmonico’s spectacular catch which robbed Eduardo Escobar of a two-run homer.
