White Sox’ Buehrle Throws Perfect Game

Pitcher Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox has just completed the first perfect game in five years in the MLB, against the Tampa Bay Rays.  The 5-0 victory over the Rays is Buehrle’s second no-hitter and also qualifies him as one of only five pitchers to throw two no-hitters and have one qualify as a perfect game.  The Rays had two attempts at getting on base, one in the eighth and one in the ninth.  The assist is given to DeWayne Wise who makes an incredible catch, careening off of the wall and holding on to the ball to save the game for Buehrle.  If you missed this one it will be making the rounds for a while – it was that good.  Below is a short clip showing the catch by Wise.  This was only the 18th perfect game played in MLB history, the 16th since 1900 and the first since Arizona’s Randy Johnson pitched against Atlanta on May 18, 2004.
