The Tigers pitcher had struck out 26 Cleveland batters. He was literally one out away from throwing a perfect game and making history for the Detroit Tigers.</p><p>How rare is a perfect game? A quick <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_perfect_games">internet search</a> reveals that in MLB history, there have only been 24 games that qualify as a 'perfect game' by today's definition - throwing a full nine innings while preventing a single batter from the opposing team from reaching base.</p><p>But as the history books will reflect, Jason Donald stepped up to the plate and hit a routine ground ball to the right side of the infield. Galarraga hustled over to cover the bag and clearly beat the runner for the third out in the 9th inning.</p><p>But this is where it all went wrong.</p><p>First base umpire Jim Joyce called the runner safe, and Galarrage ended up with a one-hit win rather than a perfect game. I'm only a casual baseball fan, and I've probably seen this replay 100 times.</p><p>'28 Outs - An Imperfect Story' sits down with Galarraga, Joyce, and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and takes a look at efforts by a Monmouth University law class to award Galarraga a perfect game.</p><p><a href="https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/e60-armando-galarraga-perfect-game-detroit-tigers.html">Click here to take a look</a> at the trailer.</p><h2>Check Out Every Detroit Tigers No-Hitter Thrown</h2><p>The Detroit Tigers added another no hitter to their long history this week.
