Verify Stats[edit]

I can't find verification for these statements from the introduction section: "The Giants recorded 10 runs, the most by any team in a perfect game. By scoring a run in the 5th inning, Cain became the only pitcher to have scored a run in his perfect game." Someone with a Baseball Reference play index subscription could verify this, though and link to the play index page. Duncanmagidson (talk) 17:49, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Duncanmagidson[reply]

Untitled[edit]

Is his perfect game considered to be thrown on June 13th, June 14th, or both?

As the game was played in San Francisco and thus in the Pacific Time Zone it occurred entirely on the 13th. Imyourfoot (talk) 06:39, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What was Cain's game score? ... Wow! GS=100! ^[1]

Or was it 101? Second highest in baseball history. Yowza. ^[2]
