Hey guys:

Not sure why this just occurred to me, but I figured I'd ask those better informed than I.

If a pitcher pitches a 27 up 27 down game, with no hits, walks, or errors, it's a perfect game.

Is there a term for when a pitcher goes 27 up 27 down but it includes a hit, walk or error? Say if there was a single, and then a double play. Has this ever been done?

A no-hitter while facing the minimum. Has happened before, certainly...one of those to do so was Mark Buehrle. Walked a batter and then picked them off:

Awesome, thanks. (I suppose if it was a hit rather than a walk, it'd just be a one-hitter while facing the minimum?). Thanks!
