MINNEAPOLIS — Ervin Santana pitched a one-hitter for the first complete-game victory by a pitcher in the major leagues this season, and the Minnesota Twins beat the White Sox 6-0 on Saturday to stop the White Sox three-game winning streak.
Santana won his third straight start, striking out eight, walking one and retiring his final 18 batters as he lowered his ERA to 0.41. The White Sox had just two base runners: Omar Narvaez singled with one out in the third, and Avisail Garcia walked leading off the fourth.
Santana also pitched a one-hitter for the Los Angeles Angels against Arizona on June 16, 2012, and he threw a no-hitter for the Angels at Cleveland on July 27, 2011.
