Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has thrown the first no-hitter of the 2020 MLB season.
Giolito completely dominated the Pittsburgh Pirates, striking out 13 batters Tuesday night in Chicago.
The only baserunner Giolito allowed came on a fourth-inning walk to Erik Gonzalez.

The White Sox staked him to an early 4-0 lead, and the 26-year-old right-hander cruised to history.
His no-hitter is the first in MLB since Justin Verlander’s no-no against the Toronto Blue Jays last September.
It was the first no-hitter for the White Sox since Philip Humber threw a perfect game in 2012, but the franchise’s 19th overall – second only to the Dodgers for the most in MLB history.
