Taking advantage Wednesday of the anemic Oakland A’s, Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees threw the first perfect game in the major leagues since 2012 and just the 24th such outing in MLB history.
Germán became the fourth Yankee to notch a perfecto, following Don Larsen , David Wells and David Cone . Larsen’s effort came in the World Series, making him the only pitcher with a perfect game in the postseason.Coming into Wednesday’s game, Germán had been struggling, with 15 earned runs allowed in just 5⅓ innings combined over his previous two starts. For the season, he had a 5.
While no one could have expected Germán to turn things around so dramatically against Oakland, the A’s have generally been a cure this season for whatever has ailed opposing pitchers. Oakland entered Wednesday in last place in a slew of major offensive team categories, including hits , batting average , slugging percentage and OPS . The A’s came into the contest as just the second MLB team in 90 years with 60 losses in its first 80 games.
