Six days later he beat the Chicago White Sox 1-0, tying a major-league record by pitching his second straight one-hitter; the lone hit this time was a bloop double that barely eluded the outstretched glove of Cleveland's first baseman. Last week he went twelve innings against Baltimore-allowing only one run, striking out ten batters-before giving way to a relief pitcher with the score tied 1-1.
