Why did he have to give up a walk to one of the 37 batters? The performance is definitely given an exhibit in the Broken Bat Hall of Fame, though. Some one needs to save this game so it isn't lost forever. Updated Tuesday, June 27 2017 @ 3:56:34 pm PDT

True, it's not a perfect game but it's hard for me to argue against it as one of, if not THE best pitched game ever. I had a guy throw a perfect game last season but I think this one surpasses that. - perfect for 9 - no hit for 12 - 8 Ks - only 117 pitches thrown That's just stupid...

It means he was pretty fortunate that balls in play were typically hit at or near fielders. Plus, as mike pointed out, he did walk a batter. It could be argued that any perfect game is better than this one because this wasn't perfection. That's just me playing devils advocate. You'll be hard pressed to find a better performance than that.
