CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox starter Martín Pérez has a no-hitter through six innings against the Minnesota Twins in his Chicago debut.
Pérez has thrown 93 pitches while striking out nine and walking three. The left-hander retired the first 11 batters before walking Ryan Jeffers.
Pérez, who turns 34 on Friday, was an All-Star with Texas in 2022 and helped the Rangers win the World Series the following year. He pitched for Pittsburgh and San Diego last season, going 5-6 with a 4.53 ERA in 26 starts, before signing a $5 million, one-year contract with Chicago in January.
The White Sox were leading 9-0 after pounding Twins starter Chris Paddack for nine runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi hit three-run homers in the first and second innings and Michael A. Taylor added a solo drive in the third.
