Mark Buehrle led the White Sox to victory in grand fashion today, by tossing a perfect game, and his second career no-hitter. His first came on April 18th, 2007, also at U.S. Comiscular Field. This is only the 18th perfect game in MLB history, Randy Johnson being the last to do so in 2004. The magnificent performance improved Buehrle’s record to 11-3 and lowered his ERA to 3.28 on the year, and he could be on his way to his best season yet.
Buehrle certainly has been the anchor of the staff since 2001, giving as consistent of innings and quality pitching as anyone in MLB over that stretch. His workhorse mentality, leadership and infectious style make him a huge asset to the ball club because he not only is a quality starter but he also gudies young pitchers like Gavin Floyd, Clayton Richard and John Danks, and is able to teach them that it pitching isn’t always about velocity. That is the definition of invaluable.
