Was New York Yankees ‘s no-hitter a Perfect Game?

Yes. Corey Kluber’s no-hitter was a perfect game

A perfect Game: is one in which a single pitcher throws at least 9 innings (27 outs) without allowing a hit. A perfect game is a no-hitter in which no runner reaches base, whether by hit, base-on-balls, hit-by-pitch, or error.

In a 2-0 win over the Rangers on Wednesday night in Arlington, Texas, New York Yankees right-hander Corey Kluber hurled his sixth no-hitter of the season, striking out nine batters.

The 35-year-masterpiece old’s came one night after right-hander Spencer Turnbull of the Detroit Tigers did the same against the Seattle Mariners.

Kluber came within four pitches of throwing a perfect game in the third inning when he gave up a four-pitch walk to Charlie Culberson.

It was the first no-hitter for the Yankees since July 18, 1999.

The Yankees have thrown 12 no-hitters, including Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series. This was the club’s first road no-hitter since Allie Reynolds did it in Cleveland on July 12, 1951.

In his ninth start for the Yankees, Kluber (4-2) tossed 71 of 101 pitches for strikes. He blended 31 curveballs, 27 cutters, 23 sinkers, 18 changeups, and two four-seam fastballs with his fastest pitch, which clocked in at 92.5 mph.

Last season, Kluber was injured after one inning on that same mound, tearing a muscle in his right shoulder in his Texas start on July 26.
