Box Score of Eric Milton No Hitter

Eric Milton became the fifth pitcher in Twins history to pitch a no-hit game joining Scott Erickson, Jack Kralick (who threw the first), and Dean Chance (who had two). Milton's fastball was on fire, hitting speeds of ninety-four miles-per-hour. He would then keep his opponents off balance by tossing an effective changeup and a great breaking curve.

"It was a miracle. I had the opportunity and I was going to give it everything I had." - Eric Milton
