PERFECTO! King Felix hurls franchise's first Perfect Game!

Felix Hernandez has thrown the first Mariner perfect game today, in a 1-0 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays.  The Mariners needed only the RBI single in the 3rd Inning to take the game and two of three in the series from the Rays.  Felix was absolutely filthy, striking out 12 and was given some timely defensive support, especially from Shortstop Brendan Ryan and Right Fielder Eric Thames.  The Mariners offense managed only five hits of of Rays' starter Jeremy Hellickson, who pitched a great game as well.
