cy young
on july 23, 2009, buehrle threw a perfect game against the tampa bay rays at u.s. cellular field. it was the eighteenth perfect game in mlb history and buehrle's second career no-hitter. with the perfect game, buehrle became the 24th pitcher to throw multiple no-hitters in a career, and the sixth perfect game pitcher who had also thrown another no-hitter, joining cy young, addie joss, jim bunning, sandy koufax, and randy johnson. (roy halladay would join them by pitching two no-hitters in 2010: a perfect game on may 29, and a second no-hitter on october 6, in the nlds.) coincidentally, the home plate umpire for both of buehrle's no-hitters was eric cooper (who, coincidentally, shares buehrle's number 56). he recorded the final out against jason bartlett on a ground ball to shortstop alexei ramírez. earlier in the 9th inning, teammate dewayne wise, a defensive replacement, made a spectacular catch to rob gabe kapler of a home run and preserve the perfect game. like his previous no-hitter, the game was completed in exactly two hours, three minutes. on july 28, his next appearance, buehrle retired the first 17 batters he faced before finally allowing a baserunner in the sixth inning, setting a mlb record for consecutive outs at 45, which was later broken on august 28, 2014, by yusmeiro petit. buehrle became only the third pitcher in mlb history (joining cy young and sandy koufax) to have a no-hitter, a perfect game, and a world series title with the same team – a feat buehrle accomplished with the white sox in 2005 (world series), 2007 (no-hitter), and 2009 (perfect game).
