How about Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox? Mark threw a perfect game today, beating Tampa Bay 5 to 0. 27 up to bat, 27 down. He is now just the 18th pitcher in MLB history to accomplish this feat.
Yeah, congrats to Mark. He got some serious help from one of his outfielders though. Not sure who it was, but I saw the highlight reel, and the guy saved a home run.
It was Dewayne Wade in centerfield. Looked like one out, and I thought that ball was going out, but Wade got back there and snagged it against the wall. He fell, looked like he shuffled the ball from one hand to the other, but held on!
There was! I am thinking the late 50's. Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates had a no hitter going into extra innings. An error got a man on base, I'm thinking he was sacrificed to second, and then scored. I'm gonna pull Wikipedia and see that result!
Update: I was right, the runner was sacrificed to second. Hank Aaron was then intentionally walked. Then Joe Adcock hit a home run. Here is the wacky part of it; Aaron for some reason left the bases as the runner (Felix Mantilla) scored. Adcock was called out for passing Aaron on the basis. According to wiki, they changed the score from 3 to 0 to 1 to 0. Haddix lost the game in the bottom of the 13th. What a wacky finish!
With this in mind wondering if, anyone has pitched a no hitter in MLB history, but lost the perfect game due to an error or two?
The Pirates' Harvey Haddix pitched a 12-inning no-hitter and was the losing pitcher.
