mark buehrle perfect game


On April 18, 2007, Mark Buehrle pitched a no-hitter against the Rangers. Today he joined two very short lists, that of pitchers who have thrown more than one no-hitter, and the list of pitchers who have thrown a perfect game.

White Sox ace Mark Buehrle retired 27 straight Tampa Bay batters in a 5-0 victory Thursday afternoon.

The perfect game was saved in the ninth when Gabe Kapler led off with a deep drive to left-center, forcing Dewayne Wise to make a leaping catch to preserve the game for Buehrle and rob Kapler of a home run.

In the seventh, B.J. Upton led off with a line drive that barely landed foul down the left field line, and then grounded out to shortstop Alexei Ramirez. Carl Crawford grounded back to Buehrle for the second out, and a majority of the 28,036 fans roared when Evan Longoria hit a fly to right before Jermaine Dye caught it.

In the sixth, rookie third baseman Gordon Beckham made two exceptional plays to retire the first two batters.
