Giolito in the Ninth

Lucas Giolito of the White Sox takes a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Pirates. He is scheduled to face Jarrod Dyson, John Ryan Murphy, and Erik Gonzalez, the 8-9-1 slots in the Pirates order. The White Sox lead 4-0. Giolito’s pitch count stands at 89.

Update: Dyson gets ahead 2-0. Giolito then gets a called strike and two swings and misses for the K. One down. Jose Osuna pinch hits.

Update: Osuna falls behind 0-2. He hits a 1-2 pitch high in air and fouls out to the right fielder. Two down.

Update: Gonzalez falls behind 0-2. He hits the next pitch hard, a line drive to rightfield, but Adam Engel is there to make the play! Giolito throws a no-fan no-hitter!

Update: I believe that games comes in at a 99 game score, as he walks one and strikes out thirteen. He throws a Greg Maddux like 101 pitches for the complete game, the shutout, and the no-no. A great night for the White Sox ace.
