Twins Vs. Angels: Anthony Swarzak No-Hitter Broken Up In Eighth, Twins Win In 10

Normally, this would be a big national story, as are most no-hitters in progress, with cut-ins on ESPN and/or the MLB Network. But since this was a magical Fox Saturday time period, where the network keeps ironclad control over what region of the USA sees which teams, only a select few got to see this close, tightly-played game. Originally, the Angels and Twins were only scheduled to be seen in Minnesota, parts of the Dakotas, Iowa and Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming, and much of central and southern California. Except for the Los Angeles and Minneapolis markets, there just aren’t a lot of TV’s in those areas.

“Great!” I thought, watching from my home in Chicago. “I’ll get to see the no-no in progress!”

We’ll recap this game here after it concludes.

We’ll continue to update this stream as the game continues.
