Woohoo! That is awesome. Way to go, 56. As you say, the real shocker is that it's his first GG. Guess throwing a perfect game will earn you some attention, after all.
Eight pickoffs from one of the fastest glove-to-pitch guys in the majors is very impressive.
"Buehrle was surprised at the [Fields/Getz for Teahen trade]. However, he was pleased not to have to pitch to Teahen any longer. Teahen had worn him out, going 24-for-53 (.453)."
