Jeff Karstens is through 7 innings against the Diamondbacks with a perfect game.
He only has 85 or so pitches as well.
6 more outs to go...
I am sure I just jinxed it, but oh well.

Karstens also picked up his first major league hit and now has 2 hits off Randy Johnson today.
Dang. A two out double in the 8th by Chris Young breaks up the perfect game and no-hitter.
He didn't get the perfect game or not hitter, but he did throw a complete game shutout.

His OBP isn't where it needs to be yet but he's got great power. Last season as a rookie he belted 32 homeruns and stole 27 bases while posting a .237/.295/.467 statline. This year he's at .234/.300/.422 with 15 homeruns. He's got tremendous power for a CFer but clearly his OBP skills are lacking right now, though he showed solid walk rates in the minors which leaves hope he can improve upon his walk totals. I'd love to have his power on this team.
Chris Young makes too many outs, but I would like to have his glove in center. He's a good athlete and still very young.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
