Milwaukee Brewers Triple-A pitcher Thomas Pannone throws a perfect game, retiring every batter he faces without allowing a baserunner, using 94 pitches. Multiple outlets report the performance occurs on Sept. 7 and is a full nine-inning solo effort.
The Athletic and other coverage place the feat in a broader historical context, saying it is among the rarest results in the International League. One report describes it as the first minor-league perfect game in nine years, while others note it is the first since 2011 (or 2017, depending on the specific framing) for a comparable category of games. Yahoo Sports highlights Pannone’s personal account of the moment, including his view that “God was on my side.” Newsweek similarly emphasizes the rarity and efficiency of the outing.
