On Sunday in Detroit, Tigers left-hander Matt Boyd came within one out of pitching a no-hitter against the White Sox. With two outs in the ninth, however, Chicago shortstop Tim Anderson hit a ringing double to right center and broke it up. The Tigers won the game by a score of 12-0 (box score). Coming into Sunday's start, the 26-year-old Boyd had a career ERA of 5.08 and had never pitched a complete game.
It would've been the eighth no-hitter in Tigers franchise history -- Justin Verlander's on May 7, 2011 was the last -- and the first by a lefty.
