Notes & reviews

Mark Buehrle threw the 18th perfect game in history; it was Buehrle's second no-hitter; Eric Cooper was the plate umpire for both games
Dewayne Wise saved the perfect game, no-hitter and shutout as he climbed the wall and brought back a home run; the ball popped out of his glove as he came down and he caught it in his throwing hand
