Phillies ace Roy Halladay celebrates the second perfect game in franchise history with catcher Carlos Ruiz and Ryan Howard.
Saturday he was even better than that – downright perfect.
The Philadelphia Phillies ace retired all 27 Florida Marlins he faced, throwing the 20th perfect game in history in a 1-0 victory at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
Facing three pinch hitters in the ninth inning, Halladay got Mike Lamb on a deep fly to center, struck out Wes Helms looking – the right-hander’s 11th strikeout of the game, a season high – and induced a groundout to third from Ronny Paulino, with third baseman Juan Castro ranging to his left to gobble it up.
