Mark Buehrle of the Chicago White Sox pitched a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays by retiring all 9 batters he faced 3 times each on Thursday, July 23, 2009. This event took place in U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois in front of 28,036 fans in attendance. This game took 2:03 from 1:07 PM CT to 3:10 PM CT. It was the 18th perfect game and 263rd no-hitter in MLB history, 2nd perfect game and 17th no-hitter in White Sox history. The last perfect game in MLB history was on May 18, 2004 when Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks pitched a perfect game against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field. The last time a White Sox pitcher threw a perfect game was on April 30, 1922 when Charlie Robertson pitched it against the Detroit Tigers at Navin Field (later known as Tiger Stadium); that was the 5th perfect game in MLB history. Buehrle also logged his second career no-hitter; the first was against the Texas Rangers on April 18, 2007. He became the first pitcher to throw multiple no-hitters since Johnson.〔 Buehrle did this in the midst of setting a Major League record by retiring 45 consecutive batters over three games. The umpire, Eric Cooper, who stood behind the plate for this perfect game was the same home plate umpire when Buehrle threw his first career no-hitter.〔 Ramón Castro was the catcher. At the time, the Rays were tied for their second-highest on-base percentage (.343) of any team, so they were one of the least likely to allow a perfect game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2009 American League Season Summary )〕 Buehrle's perfect game is the first of three perfect games and the first of four no-hitters allowed by Rays in less than three years — the second was delivered by Dallas Braden of the Oakland Athletics on May 9, 2010 (Mother's Day) — the third being delivered by Edwin Jackson of the Arizona Diamondbacks on June 25, 2010 — and the fourth being delivered by Félix Hernández on August 15, 2012. ==Background== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Buehrle's perfect game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
