Twins pitcher Ricky Nolasco settled for a no-decision for the third outing in a row Friday, in 5-4 win over the White Sox.
Nolasco was in line for the win before closer Glen Perkins blew the save, though he fell a couple of outs short of a quality start. Nolasco allowed two runs on six hits an a pair of walks over 5 1/3 innings, both via solo home runs. He struck out just two batters on 104 pitches before being lifted with a 4-2 lead.
Nolasco remains 4-5 on the season, though he has not lost in his last five starts. He has a 5.52 ERA heading into his next start, Thursday against the Angels.
