Uncover the Shocking Secrets Behind MLB’s Lightning-Fast Wild-Card Era Games!
T-3. 1:44 – At Detroit Tigers 3, Cleveland 0 (June 2, 2010)
The Detroit media called it “the 28-out perfect game,” but Armando Galarraga fell shy of the record book when after the righty recorded 26 straight outs, umpire Jim Joyce ruled Cleveland’s Jason Donald – the 27th batter – safe with an infield single. Instant replay showed the call was incorrect, but it stood because MLB didn’t implement full video review until 2014. Galarraga (67 strikes out of 88 pitches, or 76.1%) retired the next batter for a one-hitter, then received an apology from Joyce after the game.
