On August 21, 2020, the Chicago White Sox made history when they threw a combined no-hitter through seven innings against the Philadelphia Phillies. This was the first time in Major League Baseball history that a team has thrown a no-hitter through seven innings.
The White Sox were led by starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel, who pitched five no-hit innings before being relieved by Aaron Bummer in the sixth inning. Bummer pitched two more no-hit innings before the White Sox bullpen took over in the eighth inning. The bullpen was able to keep the Phillies hitless through the end of the game, with the White Sox winning 4-0.
The no-hitter was a remarkable feat for the White Sox, who have been one of the best teams in the American League this season. They are currently in first place in the AL Central division with a record of 28-14. The White Sox have been led by their strong pitching staff, which has been one of the best in the league this season.
The combined no-hitter was also a special moment for Keuchel and Bummer, who both had strong performances on the mound. Keuchel was able to keep the Phillies hitless through five innings, while Bummer was able to keep them hitless for two more innings. Both pitchers have been integral parts of the White Sox’s success this season, and this no-hitter was a testament to their talent.
The combined no-hitter was an incredible moment for the White Sox and their fans. It was a historic moment for Major League Baseball and a great achievement for the White Sox pitching staff. The White Sox will look to continue their success as they look to make a deep playoff run this season.
