Hernandez Throws Perfect Game

Felix Hernandez has now joined the ranks of those who have thrown a perfect game in Major League Baseball.

Hernandez, of the Seattle Mariners, struck out twelve, finishing the game with a total of 113 pitches.

"Words can't explain it. I've been working so hard to throw one, for you guys," Hernandez said to the Safeco Field crowd.
"It was in my mind, the whole game. Come on, you gotta do it, you gotta do it. When I came out for the ninth, I was a little nervous, but you gotta make your pitches."

Seattle beat the Tampa Bay Rays one to zero in the game.

This was the third perfect game of the year, and the twenty-third of all time.
