Open Thread: Game 99 - A's at Red Sox (cont)
by Flashfire on Jul 28, 2009 6:50 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe A's got one back. 6-3 Red Sox after seven.
I wouldn't normally talk about another game but Chicago's Mark Buehrle just lost another perfect game and no-hitter in the sixth in Minnesota, but he set a new record with 45 hitters retired in a row, dating back to his start on July 18. The old one was 41 by Jim Barr and Bobby Jenks.
