Paul DeJong singles with two out in the seventh to break up Nick Kingham‘s perfect game. Kingham now has nine strikeouts.
The high Game Score for a pitcher in his MLB debut since the low mound era started in 1969 is Steve Woodard, with a 91. That was on 7/28/1997. Woodard threw eight innings, giving up one hit and one walk, striking out 12, and out-pitched Roger Clemens. Kingham might be through after seven scoreless innings, so it’s unlikely he’ll to Woodard.
The Pirates lead the Cardinals 4-0 at the stretch.
Update: Kingham looks like he’s done, as he’s getting hugs in the dugout. His game score of 84 would be tied for 7th best with Danny Cox in an MLB debut since the start of the 1969 season. Jimmy Jones (90), Pedro Astacio (87), Mark Brownson, Jeff Pico, and Wayne Simpson (85) did better.
