DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Tigers rookie Reese Olson has pitched six no-hit innings against the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. The closest Chicago has come to a hit was in the sixth, when Yasmani Grandal’s line drive down the right-field line hooked foul. Grandal hit another hard line drive on the next pitch that was caught by centerfielder Parker Meadows. Olson has not thrown a complete game in 86 previous professional starts. He threw shutout ball over a season-high seven innings in his previous start, a 10-0 win at the White Sox on Sept. 2.
