During bids for no-hitters and perfect games, conventional baseball superstition demands that the pitcher throwing the gem not be disturbed. Teammates and coaches shy away.
But after Domingo Germán completed a seventh perfect inning Wednesday at Oakland Coliseum, the Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake sat beside him and chatted.
The break in tradition did not matter. Germán set down the next six hitters in the Athletics’ order to throw the 24th perfect game in Major League Baseball history in an 11-0 win.
“So exciting,” Germán said in Spanish through an interpreter during an on-field interview with the YES Network after the game. “When you think about something very unique in baseball. Not many people have an opportunity to pitch a perfect game and accomplish something like this.”
After a relative spate of them — two in 2010 and three in 2012 — nearly 11 years had passed since the Seattle Mariners star Félix Hernández tossed the major leagues’ most recent perfect game, in which a pitcher retires all 27 batters he faces without allowing a single baserunner.
Germán, who came into the game with a 5.10 E.R.A. this season, remained spotless even after long delays in the dugout as his team scored six runs in the top of the fifth inning; when Oakland’s pitcher left with an injury in the seventh; and when the Yankees tacked on more runs in the ninth. And he maintained his rhythm with two outs in the bottom of the eighth when a ball escaped the Oakland bullpen and briefly paused his matchup with Jonah Bride.
The modest crowd of 12,479 in Oakland, Calif., rose to its feet at Germán came out to start the ninth inning and chanted “Let’s Go, Yankees” as he faced the first batter of the inning.
Germán completed the perfect game by inducing a groundout from Esteury Ruiz, the speedy Oakland outfielder, to join a club with Hernández, a player he called his childhood “idol.” He recorded nine of the 27 outs by strikeout and finished just short of 100 pitches.
“That last inning was very different,” Germán said. “I felt an amount of pressure that I’ve never felt before.”
He continued: “So much pressure but yet so rewarding.”
Germán dedicated the performance to an uncle of his who died two days ago who was “always someone that really brought a lot of joy to our family.”
“I cried a lot yesterday,” he said. “I had him with me throughout the game.”
Afterward, teammates doused Germán with a cooler during his television interview, and he posed for photos with the game ball and his catcher, Kyle Higashioka, and then the rest of his teammates.
