For the second time this season and the 22nd time in major league history, there's been a perfect game. San Francisco's Matt Cain authored the first perfect game in Giants history, striking out 14 Houston Astros in a 10-0 rout. Cain got pinch-hitter Jason Castro on a grounder for his 27th and final out.
Cain's gem follows Phil Humber's perfect game for the Chicago White Sox on April 21. It's just the second time in baseball history there have been two perfect games in the same season -- Philadelphia's Roy Halladay and Oakland's Dallas Braden did it in 2010.
The New York Yankees beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 last night to complete their second straight three-game sweep. Curtis Granderson had a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning. Hiroki Kuroda (6-6) gave up two runs in six innings.

The Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins 10-2 last night. Felix Doubront allowed only three hits while pitching a career-high seven innings. Doubront retired 16 in a row and took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. He struck out nine and allowed two runs. The Sox are at Wrigley on Friday.
The New York Mets beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9-1 last night. R.A. Dickey allowed only an infield single during his second career one-hitter and broke the New York Mets' record for consecutive scoreless innings. Dickey broke Jerry Koosman's club record for consecutive scoreless innings. Dickey went 32 and two-thirds scoreless innings before giving up a run in the bottom of the ninth.
