He threw the twenty-second perfect game in baseball's history, and the first for the Giants.
With one hundred and twenty-five pitches, he managed a career high fourteen strike outs.
The game was saved on two occasions by great catches from his outfield.
In the sixth, left fielder Melky Cabrera made a leaping catch at the wall, and then in the seventh right fielder Gregor Blanco made a diving catch.
This was the second perfect game of the season, a feat which has only been done twice before; in the 2009 season, and then way back in 1880.
It also marked the fifth no hitter of the season.
