Germán Tosses 4th Yankee Perfect Game; 24th in MLB History

<p>In this bonus episode, we're discussing Domingo Germán's historical achievement. On June 28, 2023, Germán pitched the 24th perfect game in MLB history and the fourth for the Yankees during an 11–0 victory against the Oakland Athletics​.</p><p><br></p><p>Despite earlier season challenges, including a ten-game suspension for violating MLB policy​​, Germán threw ninety-nine pitches, struck out nine batters, and recorded his 500th career strikeout during this game​​. This was the first perfect game in MLB since 2012, and the first by a Dominican Republic pitcher​.</p><p><br></p><p>This game was also notable for being the first perfect game (or no-hitter) under the new pitch clock rules implemented in 2023​​.</p><p><br></p><p>Join us as we break down this historic game and its implications for the Yankees and MLB. Don't miss this episode as we delve into a moment forever etched in baseball history.</p><p><br></p><h2>Bullpen Q&amp;A ☎️</h2><ul><li>You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!</li><li>Email us at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:feedback@chasefor28.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">feedback@chasefor28.com</a></li><li>Connect with us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/chasefor28pod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chasefor28pod</a></li><li>Send a voicemail&nbsp;<a href="http://chasefor28.com/voicemail" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://chasefor28.com/voicemail</a></li></ul><h2>Merch 👕</h2><ul><li><a href="http://chasefor28.com/merch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Chase for 28</a></li><li><a href="http://chasefor28.com/volpe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Volpe #11</a></li><li><a href="http://chasefor28.com/pennevolpe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Penne alla Volpe</a></li><li><a href="http://chasefor28.com/stanton" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">He's Different</a></li><li><a href="http://chasefor28.com/rizzo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nobody Beats the Riz</a></li></ul>
