At Metropolitan Stadium, Twins’ left-hander Jack Kralick throws the team’s first no-hitter since the franchise moved to Minnesota last season, and the fifth no-no hurled this season in the major leagues. The slight southpaw retires the first 25 A’s batters he faces before a walk to George Alusik ends his bid for a perfect game, but he retires the next two hitters to no-hit Kansas City, 1-0.

On August 26, 1962 — At Metropolitan Stadium, Twins’ left-hander Jack Kralick throws the team’s first no-hitter since the franchise moved to Minnesota last season, and the fifth no-no hurled this season in the major leagues. The slight southpaw retires the first 25 A’s batters he faces A 3 – 2 walk to George Alusik with one out in the 9th spoils the bid for a perfect game. Alusik had beaten Kralick with a 2-run home run on August 8, but he retires the next two hitters to no-hit Kansas City, 1-0.
