All about Armando

Everybody knows what happened today, so there is really no reason to rehash it. Armando, you made history today (Detroit Tigers first perfect game, first time for three perfect games for the league in a season). You'll always remember it this way, I'll always remember it this way, and so will every other baseball fan alive today.

As a side note, today the Dodgers matched the Mets 2010 feat of three straight walk-off wins - Casey Blake scoring on a balk, Matt Kemp's home run and a Garrett Anderson single.

The Angles last three wins have been walk-offs (Bobby Abreu single), but with a loss mixed in. Even more impressive (though one was on an error) has been the Atlanta Braves three consecutive walk-off wins on May 18, 19 and 20.

Tulo
