So close to the perfect game.

Two Outs down, bottom of the 9th.

Freddie Freeman comes to the plate.

Annibal Sanchez stares him down atop his mound.

One out away from perfection.

Start out with a slider away. Ball.

Then a 12-6 curve that starts inside the zone and quickly drops. Ball.

Aim a fastball for the lower left corner. Ball.

Slide that starts outside, comes in. Strike.

3-1

Lose my cool a little bit, hang one up over the middle.

The ball is struck down the first base line past Albert Pujols’ outstretched hands.
