Liriano: No-No Shouldn't Cloud Reality

Francisco Liriano is on pace for his worst year:

 *2011 after 6 starts.

While all no-hitters are all somewhat impressive, it seems like the general reactions for Liriano's no-no last night range between "not pretty" at best and "the worst no-hitter of all time" at worst.

Somewhere in between is the truth, but the bigger truth is that Liriano is having his worst season to date, as evidenced by the charts above and below. Do you think his numbers will even out throughout the remainder of this season, or do you think this no-no is merely a blip on his quickening descent?
