Twins’ Near-Perfect Game vs White Sox | Minnesota Twins News

Zebby Matthews nearly threw a perfect game—retiring 17 straight batters on 89 pitches—before a bloop single in the sixth broke it up. He escaped further damage, but the White Sox finally got their first real hit in the eighth. In the ninth, they scored two runs, including one on a single that extended a stellar on-base streak, but a pop-up ended the rally. The Twins had already built an early lead with a solo homer in the seventh. José Urquidy pitched well for five innings, allowing just one run, despite his inconsistent season. The White Sox remain atop their division with a 72-64 record and face a crucial series against Houston starting Monday night.
