In a battle of the Windy City, two pitchers flirt with no-hitters. Gavin Floyd of the White Sox holds the Cubs hitless until Alfonso Soriano doubles with two outs in the 7th, while pinch-hitter Juan Pierre breaks up Ted Lilly’s bid for a no-no with a leadoff single in the 9th. It is the first time since July 13, 1980, that no hits have been recorded in the first six innings of a game. It was also the first time 41 outs took place before the first hit since Sandy Koufax’s no-hitter versus Bob Hendley’s one-hitter in September 1965. Lilly is removed from the game immediately after surrendering the hit, clinging to 1 – 0 lead; Carlos Marmol loads the bases, but escapes the jam and the score holds. The only run of the game is scored when Chad Tracy follows Soriano’s double with a single.
