Mark Buehrle's dance with the seemingly impossible eventually missed a step, but the performance was puncuated by a once-hostile crowd stunned by what they had witnessed. It made for a great moment, says Buster Olney. Plus miles of aisles of trade notes.

Perfect into sixth, Buehrle unravels against Twins

As Mark Buehrle breezed through the first five innings against the Minnesota Twins, the Chicago White Sox ace felt even better than he did during his perfect game the last time he took the mound.

Buehrle sets record, then loses

News: Perfect again into the sixth inning Tuesday at Minnesota, White Sox SP Mark Buehrle wound up with a loss despite a record-setting performance. Coming off the 18th perfect game in major-league history, Buehrle retired the first 17 batters on Tuesday night to set a record with 45 outs in a row before the Twins rallied for a 5-3 victory over the White Sox. Buehrle (11-4) lost what would have been his second consecutive perfect game and his no-hitter with two outs in the sixth. He wound up allowing five runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings, issuing one walk and recording three strikeouts. [...]

Buehrle takes loss despite setting record

Tuesday was a bittersweet night for White Sox' starter Mark Buehrle, as he was hit with the loss despite being perfect through 5.2 innings. Buehrle went 6.1 innings and allowed five runs on five hits while walking one and striking out three. He also set the major league record with 45 straight batters retired spanning his last two starts.

Our View: For a while tonight it was looking like we were going to witness history, as Buehrle was perfect into the sixth. The wheels fell apart with two outs in the inning, and he ended up taking the loss. The team will likely forgive him for this one after throwing his perfect game in his last start, but the celebration for his new ML record will probably be pretty somber after the loss.

Punto drives in two in win

Nick Punto drove in two for the Twins on Tuesday as they got the best of Mark Buehrle and the White Sox by a score of 5-3. Punto went 1-for-3 with a run scored to go along with his two driven in.

Our View: The Twins' offense didn't do much big damage against the Sox tonight, but they did enough to get the win. Punto is known more for his defense than his bat, and with the Twins looking to acquire a middle infielder his at-bats could see a large decrease going forward.

Mark Buehrle broke a major league record by retiring 45 consecutive

Mark Buehrle broke a major league record by retiring 45 consecutive batters, but lost against the Twins on Tuesday night. He passed the previous mark of 41, set by the Giants' Jim Barr in 1972 and reliever Bobby Jenks in 2007. [...]

What a remarkable run for Buehrle, who set a Major League record

What a remarkable run for Buehrle, who set a Major League record by retiring 45 consecutive batters over the two magical outings. As opposed to last week’s jewel, though, this one came apart quickly, as he lost the perfect game, no-hitter and shutout in succession with two outs in the sixth inning. Regardless, file these two starts away in the memory bank, as you’re unlikely to see anything like them for a long time. The veteran left-hander -- whose WHIP stands at a minuscule 1.09 -- will look to get back in the win column when he takes his next turn in the rotation on Aug. 2 vs. the Yankees.

Perfect into sixth, Buehrle unravels against Twins

27 up, 27 down in a masterful performance for the White Sox left-hander. He needed 116 pitches and a game-saving catch by Dewayne Wise in the top of the ninth inning to do it, but Buehrle now has his place among baseball’s great pitching performances. He’ll take the hill again July 28 in Minnesota against the Twins.

Kazmir drops to 4-6

Scott Kazmir got lit up again on Thursday. The struggling former ace allowed five runs on five hits and three walks over six innings. He fanned five, allowed one home run and took the loss.

Our View: It really wouldn't have mattered if Kazmir had allowed just one run on one hit. He would have taken the loss anyway, due to the fact that the pitcher opposing him, Mark Buehrle, tossed a perfect game. Kazmir has been unlucky this season, but he's also been very bad. He's now 4-6 with a 6.69 ERA and looks like a shell of the pitcher that many believed to be one of the best in the AL last season.

Our View: Chicago's ace hurler collected his 10th win of the season, and trimmed his ERA to 3.52. He bounced back fine from his last outing when he was rocked for eight earned runs over 3.1 innings at Minnesota on July 12.

The southpaw was tagged for a season-high eight earned runs

The southpaw was tagged for a season-high eight earned runs on 10 hits over 3 1/3 innings his last time out against the Twins, so his latest effort couldn't have come at a better time for the veteran southpaw. Buehrle is on pace for another typically solid year, going 10-3 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 70 Ks. He'll look to keep things rolling when he next toes the rubber against the Rays on July 23.

Easily Buehrle�s worst outing of the year, as he failed to go at least five innings and gave up more than five earned runs for the first time in his 18 starts. He served up a pair of long balls, which is concerning considering he�s now been touched for five dingers in the last 10 1/3 innings. He�ll look to regroup over the All-Star break and come back strong in the second half. The veteran southpaw carries a 66/26 K/BB ratio and 3.66 ERA into the respite.

It�s been a good run recently for the veteran southpaw, as he�s given up a total of seven earned runs over his last four starts, spanning 28 innings.
