MIAMI - Roy Halladay pitched the second perfect game of the season and the 20th in major league history as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Florida Marlins 1-0 on Saturday.

Halladay struck out 11. It's the first no-hitter for Philadelphia since Kevin Millwood did it in 2003. The last perfect game by a Phillie came by Jim Bunning on June 21, 1964.

Oakland A's pitcher Dallas Braden pitched the 19th perfect game May 11.

Wilson Valdez scored the only run of the game when he singled, then scored when Cameron Maybin made an error on Chase Utley's hit.

2 in one season! That is pretty wild. And he struck out 11...wow!
I thought that the 3rd baseman (Juan Castro) was pretty impressively cool and nonchalant with that last out...that was not an easy play.
