Wednesday 7/20/1975: Kansas City has no chance in a NO-HITTER by Larry Bearnarth

Bearnarth (15-6) struck out 3 and issued 2 BB, throwing 59 of 104 pitches for strikes. 'I hit the corners with all of my pitches. That helped a lot!' Yutaka Fukumoto provided Detroit with the offense Bearnarth needed as he finished with 2 hits in 4 AB. The final score of the game was 1-0.
