Question markPitching a complete game without striking out or walking a single batter is a rare feat and only one Minnesota Twins pitcher has ever done it, name him.

Three pitchers have done it against the Twins, Dick Donovan in 1962, Bud Black in 1989 but he lost the game, and Joel Pineiro in 2006. In the last 22 years it has only been done twice, Pinero in 2006 and Rick Porcello in 2014.

The answer is Allan Anderson on 8/4/1988 – boxscore

  1. I’m going to guess Carlos Silva.
    His games went very quickly in part because no one ever saw 5 pitches from him. They hit the ball somewhere before he had thrown that many.

    I wonder if he and Mark Buehrle ever pitched against each other.
    That game should have been over in 2 hours.
