The Minnesota Twins franchise, which began American League play as the Washington Senators in 1901 and spent 60 years in the nation’s capital before moving to Minneapolis, has thrown seven no-hitters.
The great Walter Johnson threw the franchise’s first no-no, and Bobby Burke also threw a no-hitter for the Senators. Jack Kralick threw the first Minnesota Twins no-hitter, and he was followed by Dean Chance, Scott Erickson, Eric Milton and Francisco Liriano.
