While there will be fewer opportunities for perfect games to occur this season, given the reduced schedule, Major League Baseball posted an article regarding the criteria for no-hitters and perfect games during the 2020 season. In the article, MLB's official stats group, the Elias Sports Bureau, stated that when a game is a part of a doubleheader, seven innings won't qualify as an official no-hitter/perfect game; the game must go into extra innings and the ninth inning must be completed. The article further states that the placed runner on second base in extra innings won't count against a pitcher because "A perfect game is a game of at least nine innings where no batter reaches base safely. In the case of a runner on second to start the inning he is not a batter to reach safely. Therefore it is a perfect game.”
While not meant to treat this like a forum, in the situation where the home pitcher completes seven perfect innings, yet the score is 0-0 after the home team bats, then the game would go to extra innings. He completes the top of the eighth inning perfect, and his team still fails to score in the bottom half. In the ninth he gives up two sacrifice flies, allowing the placed runner to advance to third, and then to home. He strikes out the last batter to end the top of ninth inning. In the bottom of the ninth his teammate hits a walk-off two-run home run to win the game.
Does this article from MLB postulate that, for the 2020 season, perfect games can have the losing team score runs? No-hitters allow for this and have already happened in prior seasons; I'm not aware of any such allowance for perfect games in the non-COVID ravaged seasons. If this is to be that case that a perfect game is not spoiled by the placed runner, since he was never a batter, then it might be worthy of some sort of note in the article. While potentially trivial, other articles state rules used during different seasons that do not necessarily apply to all seasons (walks counting as hits in 1887, for example). 2601:205:4100:B40:A828:D07C:9771:2526 ( talk) 20:20, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
In 2020 since in extras a runner starts on 2nd base, could a pitcher throw a perfect game this year. If so could a pitcher lose a perfect game because of a few passed balls.Would it still be a perfect game since technically it’s still 27 up 27 down. Chisfoostair ( talk) 02:54, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
Shouldn’t umpire errors be added to one of the requirements for a perfect game? 96.75.44.74 ( talk) 23:12, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
