Dylan Cease was so close to making history.
The Chicago White Sox ace was tossing a no-hitter through nine innings of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field. That changed with two outs in the top of the ninth.
Luis Arraez singled on a line drive to right fielder Mark Payton for Minnesota's first hit of the night, preventing Cease from becoming the third ChiSox pitcher in the last three seasons to throw a complete-game no-hitter.
Lucas Giolito tossed a complete-game no-hitter in 2020 and Carlos Rodon accomplished the feat in 2021.
