2012 (MLB): Seattle Mariners' ace Felix Hernandez throws the 21st perfect game in MLB history (World Series era) in the Mariners 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners were -135 home favorites and the game stayed under the total of 6½-runs as Hernandez struck out 12 batters on 113 pitches.
