White Sox's Pérez Debuts with No-Hit Innings, Strikes Out Nine in 9-0 Win Over Twins

In his Chicago White Sox debut, Martín Pérez shined by pitching six no-hit innings and striking out a career-high nine batters, leading the team to a 9-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Pérez, who threw 93 pitches and walked three, retired the first 11 batters he faced and showcased his pitching skills with a mix of cutters and changeups, despite not exceeding 90 mph. The White Sox's offense also contributed with three-run homers from Andrew Vaughn and Andrew Benintendi, alongside a two-run drive from Michael A. Taylor. This impressive performance marked Pérez as only the second major leaguer since 1901 to achieve six or more hitless innings and nine strikeouts in a debut with a new team. The Twins, meanwhile, continued their poor start to the season, falling to 0-4. Pérez, who previously had success with Texas, signed a one-year deal with Chicago earlier this year.
