Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga got robbed of a perfect game on a blown call with two outs in the ninth inning by MLB umpire Jim Joyce who admits he blew it. Hear the Jim Joyce post game interview here!
Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga, throw a perfect game, or was he one pitch off? A perfect game would consist of not a single opposing member of a baseball team getting on to a plate. An umpire said a foul ball was really inbounds, allowing 1 member from the Cleveland Indians to get to first base. The ump has already admitted he called the ball wrong, now Bud Selig has to determine if he wants to give Galarraga the title of having thrown a perfect game still. He can be the 3rd pitcher this year to do so, which is virtually unheard of in a season at all, let alone three in a single year.
