Mark Buehrle Obtaines Perfection
Against the Rays Mark Buehrle obtained perfection, the second no-hitter of his baseball career, now bringing him recognition with just 18 other perfect games in MLB history. As well as on of only 5 pitchers to throw two no hitters, one of them being a perfect game.
Center fielder Dewayne Wise came through with a center field grab off the all that looked to be a Gabe Kapler home run, which solidified the first perfect major league game in five years.
“I was hoping it was staying in there, give him enough room to catch it,” Buehrle said. “I know the guys were doing everything they could to save the no-hitter, the perfect game, whatever it might be.”
“I was just hoping it didn’t have enough distance to get out of here.”
Royals Young Sensation Creates Wave
Zack Greinke is the Royals young sensation, creating a wave of excitement, the 25 year old right hander delivered a gem with the best starts ever to a season. He is yet to allow a single run in tow starts. His six-hit, no-walk, 10-strikeout complete game blanking of the White Sox on Monday raised his record to 6-0, with a near perfect 0.40 ERA. Only two other pitchers in Major League history have done as well — Walter “Big Train” Johnson in 1913 and Fernando Valenzuela in 1981.
Kansas City can you call him the best in baseball?
He was a pretty polished 13-10 with a gleaming 3.47 ERA last year. Blinding new record 6-0, 0.40 ERA, 54 strikeouts — all bests in the MLB. Greinke had a 3-0 victory over Chicago, and White Sox manager praised his performance stating: It doesn’t surprise me what he’s doing right now at all,” Guillen said, “because he’s that good. He’s been good for a long time. Now he believes in himself.
“To me, he’s the best in the league right now.”
Walking no one, with his sixth victory he struck out 10 batters and only threw 104 pitches. The Kansas City Royals are in first place in the American League Central, one and a half games over the Tigers. The Royals have a 15-11 record and the fans are feeling good with impressive crowds and excited about Zack!
Detroit Tigers Galarraga Out Pitches the Sox
Armando Galarraga spotted his pitches low and on the corner for the previous 6 1/3 innings making the bigger addition to the Wednesday 9-0 Tigers win. He may be Detroit’s future closer but some of his wild pitches nearly hit many players heating up the shouting on the field.
Ryan Perry, the wild pitcher, nearly hit Alexi Ramirez twice and Brent Lillbridge another time. Josh Fields, Chicago’s third baseman, shouted to Perry about throwing the ball at him at 97 mph. “I’ve never tried to hit anyone in the head,” Perry said. Perry held in and struck out Fields for the final out.
It was a win for the Detroit Tigers, taking the early lead in American League Central Standings. Galarraga has good control and shut down Chicago’s big bats. Considering this was the only time he faced the White Sox before this game was briefly at this final game of last season. He threw a few wold pitches to bring in the tying run and walked Jermaine Dye, he was out of sorts.
Galarraga had the eight-strikeout performance in the home opener las Friday, with three of his five strikouts coming in critical situations. Galarraga set down Carlos Quentine and changed speeds on Jim Thome with a moving changeup and a cutter to freeze him.
Executing a heavy dose of sliders and cutters Garlarraga controlled the game very well.
