Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts could not feed a routine ground ball, ruining starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto's perfect game with two outs in the eighth inning. Yamamoto still took a no-hitter into the ninth, but with one out he served up a home run to White Sox center fielder Tristan Peters.
My take: Betts would be one of the last people I would guess to mess up a perfect game with an error. The beauty ... and tragedy ... of baseball.
