Now there have been 192 no-hitters broken up in the 9th since 1961 compared to 192 that survived the ninth. I'm not sure when it was last at 50-50. It's hovered around 51% for no-hitters completed through the ninth for a while. https://t.co/M7Vd8bn8iz

Second time this year a no-hitter has been broken up with a homer with two out in the ninth: https://t.co/M7Vd8bn8iz

@ZachHalverson Nice

Magic # is 1, but Twins would win in tiebreaker system with Cleveland, right? So that means they already clinched first place? Am I getting this correct?

[stewthornley @stewthornley]

@srsBryzness @GetWetSports @CJCau @BaseballBrit @MLB No other way to rule it. I didn't see it as a single and fielder's choice. They left second open. Even if Perez had noticed it right away, they would have had trouble getting him. I did check with our rules authorities, who confirmed it as a double.

@srsBryzness @GetWetSports @CJCau @BaseballBrit @MLB Is that the one Franchy messed up? Double? Heck, I called that one a triple.

@DJJasonNagel Thanks, Jason. Ditto. And thanks for the T-Wolves plug.

@wintwins Why wouldn't they be?

Since 1961, 51.3 percent of no-hitters taken into the ninth have survived the ninth. https://t.co/M7Vd8bn8iz

Fifth no-hitter broken up in the ninth this season (compared to four that made it). https://t.co/M7Vd8bn8iz

@mighty_flynn Not as bad as . . .

@keithlaw Loved the line about the 69 managers who won the nice award in The Inside Game. It was perfectly cromulent.

@CloseCallSports Cool. Still waiting for it to happen in the majors: https://t.co/ni67bY8iWD

[stewthornley @stewthornley]

First time the Twins have broken up a no-hitter with two out in the ninth. https://t.co/M7Vd8bn8iz

[stewthornley @stewthornley]

Close today in Washington, but no one has ever pulled off the fourth out (at least no examples that are documented). https://t.co/ni67bY8iWD

[stewthornley @stewthornley]

@ScoringChanges No documented example of it ever happening, but it could have today. https://t.co/ni67bY8iWD

[stewthornley @stewthornley]

Since 1961 180 no-hitters have been pitched through 9 innings; 169 were broken up in the ninth. The trend has been to more surviving in the last couple years, but it's still about a 50-50 chance for a no-hitter to survive the ninth (51.6%), https://t.co/M7Vd8bn8iz
