Haven't checked for pinch hítters, but every perfect game ends with 7-8-9.With it being just a 2-0 game, surely Cleveland will pinch-hit in the 9th. If not, Arias-Straw-Gallagher might be the easiest 9th inning anyone has ever faced to complete a no-hitter. The Guards really didn't field a major league lineup tonight with Josh Naylor hurting, Bo Naylor on the bench and Andres Gimenez only coming in mid-game.
Gallagher is no different than any past NL no-hitter ending with a pitcher at the plate.Haven't checked for pinch hítters, but every perfect game ends with 7-8-9.
He walked a .198 hitter. I’d fixate on it.You think these guys ever fixate on the walk? I think I’d be thinking about the walk.
Too many pitchesThree outs and things get interesting for old friend Michael Kopech in Cleveland.
The announcers mentioned they are using a six man rotation, and have an off day, so they can give him extra rest.Four walks. Only threw 11 pitches in the 8th, so he might have a shot. They’re letting him go for it.
Family reaction is just awesome. That was really, really cool.Awesome and mom and wife in the stands!
And baby too!

Just wonderful!Family reaction is just awesome. That was really, really cool.
For real, WTF was that?Dude has the highlight of his life and the first question is about his dead dad. Come on.
Kid hitting a home run in his first MLB at bat on the field with family, too. What a cool night for that team.What a cool moment to share with your family there!
I know a lot of people here don't like Philly, but this Phillies team is a very easy team to root for.Kid hitting a home run in his first MLB at bat on the field with family, too. What a cool night for that team.
Yep, but not a perfect game as there's been a walk.Something going on in Kansas City? And by the home team no less.
Yes he did. Less efficient in this one though so he might run out of gas. Guess the Astors were able to shake off losing by 16 runs yesterday.I’m Detroit, I think this guy already threw one this year?
The two teams combined have one hit.I’m Detroit, I think this guy already threw one this year?
Yikes, 114 pitches through seven!The two teams combined have one hit.
Valdez has thrown a lot of pitches already.
Smart move. It's too late in the season to think of individual pursuits over the race they're in.He’s out of the game
