Scherzer struck 17 including 9 in a row until the final out. The only base runner reached on an error. He is the first pitcher since Nolan Ryan in 1973 to throw two no-no's in the regular season.

A error and HBP away from 2 perfect games.

The first pitcher since Grover Cleveland Alexander 100 years ago to throw 3 CG in which he allowed no more than 1 hit and 1 BB...

It's a shame that a fielding error can ruin a pitcher's perfect game.

That game was actually better than most perfect games if that is possible. 17 k's and 0 walks and they hit one ball hard against him all night. You could argue it was one of the very best pitching performances in MLB history.
