Tonight, Mark Buehrle followed up his perfect game by retiring the first 17 Twins he faced, giving him a record 45 straight batters retired. This took him two outs into the sixth inning, at which point he walked Alexi Casilla. That put paid to the astronomically small chance that he would pitch consecutive perfect games, but the shot at a second straight no-hitter was still intact, though that quickly vanished as well when the next batter, Denard Span, singled. Johnny Vander Meer was safe.
On June 11 and 15, 1938, Vander Meer of the Reds became the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter in consecutive starts. He blanked the Boston Bees, managed by Casey Stengel, at Cincinnati in the former game, then headed to Ebbets Field and, no doubt aided by the fact that the game represented the first-ever night game in Brooklyn, no-hit the Dodgers.
