OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Athletics pitcher Joey Estes has a perfect game through six innings against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night.
Estes has thrown 70 pitches and has struck out five. The 22-year-old right-hander is 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA in five starts this season.
There have been 24 perfect games in major league history. The last one was at the Coliseum, when the Yankees' Domingo German shut down the A's on June 28, 2023.
Estes, making his seventh career start, notched his first career win less than a month ago against the Mariners on the road. He was pitching in Triple-A as recently as May 4 after making two starts in the majors last year. Estes made his major league debut last September, also against the Mariners.
