"...swings and LINES ONE INTO CENTER FIELD a base hit."
And with that, Justin Verlander's bid for his second no-hitter in as many months came to a screeching halt. An Indian's hit in the 8th inning screwed up what would have been the 3rd no-no of Verlander's career. He ended up with a complete game two-hitter (the second was a blooper). With that game, the Tigers vaulted over the Indians into first in the AL Central.
Also in the AL Central, Francisco Liriano (who else) took a no-no through the 7th. That's when the Twins decided to take a half-hour and score 5 runs, which was good for them, but not for Liriano, who gave up a hit in the next inning.
So ended the bids for two more no-hitters from the same pitchers who threw the other ones this year.
