In a standard baseball game, you get 3 outs per inning for a total of 27 outs through a 9 inning game. There have been 20 pitchers who have retired all 27 batters without allowing a base runner by a hit, a walk, or an error. That's called a perfect game.
Until today.
Philip Humber, of the Chicago White Sox, retired 27 hitters in a row in Seattle to beat the Mariners 4-0 and become the 21st MLB pitcher to throw a perfect game. He is the third White Sox pitcher to do so.
Well done!
