Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán throws first perfect game since 2012, 24th in MLB history

OutKick founder Clay Travis sounds off on the L.A. Dodgers honoring the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence during Friday’s Pride Night game.

New York Yankees pitcher Domingo Germán secured his spot in the history books Wednesday night as he pitched the MLB's first perfect game since 2012 and the league's 24th overall.

The right-hander retired every Oakland batter during the 11-0 away victory over the Athletics.

It was the first perfect game in the majors this year and the MLB’s first since Seattle Mariners ace Félix Hernández accomplished the feat against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15, 2012.

"So exciting," Germán said after the game, via 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."

Germán became the fourth Yankee to pitch a perfect game, joining Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998) and David Cone (1999). Larsen’s performance notably came in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series against the then-Brooklyn Dodgers. It was the 13th no-hitter in Yankees history.

The Yankees became the first franchise with four perfect games, with the Chicago White Sox at three.

Germán also earned his 500th career strikeout during the contest.

His efficient performance included throwing 72 strikes on 99 pitches – 51 curveballs, 30 fastballs, 17 changeups and one sinker.
