It’s the 25th anniversary of that time when I pitched 9 perfect innings… then gave up a hit in the 10th. More importantly though, we won the game! Records are nice to have, you know… but the W/L record is the most important one! #MLB #Astros #pitching #perfect #almost #yeahhh pic.twitter.com/A2CPNPqpKF
