CHICAGO -- Martin Perez figured he had enough left to remain in the game a little longer. He also knew he couldn't go the distance.
The veteran left-hander threw six no-hit innings and tied a career high with nine strikeouts in a sparkling Chicago debut, helping the White Sox roll past the Minnesota Twins 9-0 on Monday.
"They asked me how I feel," Perez said. "I told them I feel great. But I was honest, too. I mean, there's no way I could go three more innings. It's too early. It's a long season.
