Bryce Harper

May 11, 2012

Apparently frustrated by his 0-for-5, three-strikeout effort against the Reds on Friday night, 19-year-old Washington Nationals sensation Bryce Harper injured himself when a bat he used to hit a wall struck him above the left eye.

According to Amanda Comak, Nationals beat writer for the Washington Times, Harper needed 10 stitches but didn’t feel dazed, and said he has no intention of missing a game.

Here’s a link to video of Nats (and former Reds) skipper Davey Johnson discussing the incident.

Humber’s line: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K, 96 pitches

The last perfect games before Humber’s was thrown by Roy Halladay of the Phillies over the Marlins on May 29, 2010.

The last White Sox perfect game was thrown against the Rays by Mark Buehrle on July 23, 2009. The only other Sox perfecto was thrown by Charlie Robertson against the Tigers on April 30, 1922.

It’s the 3rd no-hitter thrown against the Mariners.
