CHICAGO (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins ended a four-game skid with a victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.
On the 10th anniversary of Mark Buehrle’s perfect game in Chicago, Marlins left-hander Caleb Smith thought it might be his turn to grab a similar place in baseball history.
“I definitely was thinking about the no-hitter and the perfect game the entire time,” Smith said. “You kind of try to put it out of your mind, but it’s kind of hard to.”
Maybe next time. Smith retired his first 17 batters before allowing two walks and a hit, then cruised through seven innings of two-hit ball to lift Marlins over the Chicago White Sox 5-1.
