Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts acknowledges that an error by him ends Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s bid for a perfect game. The incident occurs in the eighth inning, when Betts mishandles a ground ball and the play results in the loss of perfect-game status. Multiple reports describe Betts speaking after the game, repeatedly emphasizing ownership of the mistake. The Athletic also notes that the outcome prevents Yamamoto from matching Yusmeiro Petit’s record of retiring 46 consecutive batters. Other coverage says Yamamoto is close to the finish, with the perfect game ended after Betts’ misplay. Across outlets, the central point is that Betts’ admitted error in the eighth inning is the moment the perfect bid ends, and that his postgame remarks focus on taking responsibility. No source disputes the basic sequence of events, though they differ slightly in the details of what records or streaks were being pursued.
