By luck we kept the tickets for today's game and went, despite threatening showers. What luck! We watched in amazement as Dallas Braden mowed down the first place Rays every inning to win a perfect game. I noticed in the 6th that the Rays had no hits, it wasn't until I looked at my scorebook but not only was he pitching a no-hitter but also a perfect game. It was amazing that the last three innings went by super fast - Braden was just pumped to get the game over and done with. The last out was a hit to shortstop Pennington, who threw to first and finished the game. This game was full of gems, including an amazing foul territory catch by Kouzmanoff in the 8th to get Pena out. Watching Braden hug and kiss his grandmother, who raised him when his mother died was a perfect end to the perfect game.
