Halladay tosses perfect game

POSTED: Saturday, May 29, 2010, 9:20 PM

Roy Halladay threw a perfect game Saturday night against the Marlins as the Phillies took home a 1-0 victory.

He became just the 10th Phillies pitcher to throw a no-hitter and the second to throw a perfect game.

Halladay is the 20th pitcher in MLB history and the second this season to throw a perfect game. He struck out 11 to improve to 7-3 with a 1.99 ERA on the season.

The last Phillies pitcher to throw a no-hitter was Kevin Millwood on April 27, 2003. The last (and only) to throw a perfect game was Jim Bunning on June 21, 1964.

Here's the box score from tonight's game.

    Congrats Roy. Awesome game. Awesome timing (1-0). Not so awesome timing (competing for attention w/Flyers). It's what he works so hard for. Happy to have you here in Philly. Stay awhile!

    The question remains... if the Flyers hold on to beat the Blackhawks (sh*t they just tied it at 4-4), which story gets the headline tomorrow??

    Man this is fantastic. This should go a long way into inspiring the phitens to get rolling again. Cmon boys lets walk away from this division.. we have the talent, the gamemanship and leadership to put the NL east in our rear-view...GO PHILS
