May 24, 201114 yr And I know no one was BUT for the hell of it, here are two nuggets heading into tonight's clash: MARK BUEHRLE was the last White Sox pitcher to fire a complete game shutout against a reigning American League champ. On July 23, 2009, Buehrle threw a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays at U.S. Cellular Field. MELIDO PEREZ was the last White Sox pitcher to throw a complete game shutout against a reigning American League champ on its own field. On Sept. 17, 1990, Perez tossed a five-hitter in a 7-0 win at Oakland. Earlier that year, Eric King also logged a shutout at Oakland. So now you know

May 25, 201114 yr Author You're confusing a shutout with his rain-shortened no-hitter. I was aware of Perez's no-hitter that wasn't. However, that was not against a defending champ and it took place in July while the Perez no no took place in September.
