Replay: 8IP, 2R, 5H, 6K, 0BB. L-21-7)

On this date in real life, San Francisco’s Gaylord Perry pitched a no hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. In my replay, he once again defeated Bob Gibson and the Cards, this time, by a 2-1 score. Gibson gave up two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, while Perry allowed but a single run, in the top of the sixth. Bob will have two more starts to try and match the real-life win total of 22.
