Germán set down the next six hitters in the Athletics’ order to throw the 24th perfect game in Major League Baseball history in an 11-0 win. With Germán’s perfect game here, the Yankees moved ahead of the White Sox for the MLB lead.

The two teams were previously tied for the most perfect games with three. “So exciting,” Germán said through an interpreter during an on-field interview after the game. “When you think about something very unique in baseball. Not many people have an opportunity to pitch a perfect game and accomplish something like this.”
