In Major League Baseball, only 24 perfect games have been recorded, with the last one thrown by Domingo German in 2023. On Sunday, Miami Marlins pitcher Eury Perez was pulled after seven perfect innings and 92 pitches, denying him a chance at joining this exclusive group. This decision almost cost the Marlins the game, as they narrowly secured a 9-8 victory against the Athletics. Perez’s outstanding performance included no base-runners and eight strikeouts, marking his best start of the season.
