| Diaz Shines in Perfect Game Friday, July 27th, 2018 Orlando Magic starter Deivi Diaz was as good as a pitcher can be today, as he hurled a perfect game against the Winnipeg Goldeyes.
In doing so, Diaz accomplished one of the most difficult feats in baseball and one that will put his name in the record books.
"I can tell you I've dreamed about a day like this," Diaz told the press after the game. "Now that I've done it, the feeling is even better."
In his splendid 1-0 victory at Ballpark of East Pittsburgh, Diaz yielded no hits, walked none and had 13 strikeouts. In the historic outing he retired 27 successive batters.
To date Diaz is 1-1 in 1 starts with a 0.89 ERA and has 31 strikeouts in 20.1 innings. | |
