Just over a month after a sticky substance in his glove saw him ejected from Rogers Centre and hit with a 10-game ban, Domingo German pitched the MLB's first perfect game since 2012.
Until now.
“So exciting,” German said through a translator. “When you think about something very unique in baseball, not many people have an opportunity to pitch a perfect game. To accomplish something like this in my career is something that I'm going to remember forever.” “It was just so fun to watch him do that and go to work. We've seen him flirt with outings like that over time,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, thinking to when Boston's Alex Verdugo broke up German's no-hit bid in the eighth in July 2021.
“That last inning was very different - very different. I felt an amount of pressure that I've never felt before,” German said. “I'm trying to visualize what I want to execute there. At the same time, I don't want to miss. So much pressure, but yet so rewarding.A's leadoff hitter Tony Kemp said German's curveball set up everything else.
It was the 13th no-hitter in Yankees history, including Larsen's perfect game in the World Series. Corey Kluber pitched their previous no-hitter against the Texas Rangers on May 19, 2021.
