And when Josh Fields wrapped his mitt around shortstop Alexei Ramirez's throw on ground ball at first base to end the game, the South Side erupted with thunderous applause for its hero.

Buehrle (11-3) struck out six batters and forced 11 ground ball outs. Few Rays hitters made any sort of hard contact against him, and only three hit line drives.

Buehrle is just the 18th player to throw a perfect game in Major League history.
