Jose Tabata spoils perfect game against Nationals

by Christopher Arndt | Sun, Jun 21st 8:54am EDT

In a pinch-hit scenario in the bottom of the ninth inning, Jose Tabata was hit by a Max Scherzer pitch to end his perfect game. Scherzer needed just one more out to secure the feat.

Fantasy Impact:

The HBP had little impact on the outcome out the game, but it will remain a permanent blemish for Scherzer, who has flirted with perfection his last few outings. Some argued Tabata leaned into the pitch, perhaps it was some stern gamesmanship The Pirates (39-29) will try to bounce back today against Gio Gonzalez.
