Germán's perfect game against the Oakland Athletics is the first in the MLB in over a decade.
Coming off a pair of terrible starts, Germán struck out nine of 27 batters against the A’s, who have the worst record in the majors.
With the crowd of 12,479 on its feet for the ninth inning, Germán finished what he started. He got Aledmys Díaz to ground out before Shea Lanegeliers flied out to short center field. When Esteury Ruiz grounded out to end it, the Yankees’ dugout and bullpen emptied as Germán’s teammates raced out to the mound to celebrate.
Giancarlo Stanton homered for the first time in more than two weeks and drove in three runs, and former Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson added three RBIs to help the Yankees to their 15th win in 21 games against the A’s since Aug. 31, 2019.
