MLB The Dennis Martinez Perfect Game

Dennis Martínez born in Granada, Nicaragua, is the only major league pitcher born outside of the United States to throw a perfect game. Martínez faced only one three-ball count.

Opposing pitcher Mike Morgan was perfect through five full innings, the latest the opposing starter in a perfect game has remained perfect. Two days earlier, Expos pitcher Mark Gardner no-hit the Dodgers through nine innings but lost the no-hitter in the 10th, meaning the Expos narrowly missed throwing a no-hitter and a perfect game in the same series. Deninis Martínez's catcher, Ron Hassey, also caught Len Barker's perfect game. This was the third perfect game pitched against the Brooklyn / Los Angeles Dodgers, joining those of Larsen and Browning; the only other team to lose more than one perfect game is the Twins (Hunter and Wells).
