Lopez was acquired in the Moustakas trade and is perfect through 8 innings against the Twins. And no, designated no-hitter breaker Joe Mauer won't hit in the 9th unless the Twins get a baserunner.
With Goodwin and Bonifacio in CF and RF, I can't ever be too confident.With Kepler, Grossman, and Adrianza the scheduled hitters in the 9th I'd like his chances if I were you.
In a stat that may become relevant unless the Royals wipe Kepler off the bases is that Mauer has broken up 3 no-hitters in the 9th inning in his career.
