9:37 p.m. Called strike three! Two outs now in the eighth. That's a big 14 strikeouts for Cain.

9:39 p.m. Crawford ranges to his left at short, not an easy play...but he's out! 24 straight for Cain, and we get a breather before the dramatic 9th.

9:42 p.m. Duane Kuiper is talking about the pressure on the defense in a situation like this. Kuiper played second during Len Barker's perfect game for the Indians in 1981.

9:45 p.m. How many perfect games have their been? Twenty-one since 1880, including one this year by the White Sox' Philip Humber. No Giant has ever thrown one.

9:48 p.m. Here we go. Bogusevic, Snyder, and maybe a pinch hitter for the pitcher are due up.

9:50 p.m. Fly out to left! That's one.

9:51 p.m. Fly out to left again! That's two! The hitter is now Jason Castro, a Bay Area kid.

9:52 p.m. It's over! He did it! Another tough play at third ends it!

9:56 p.m. This play right here is the one people will be talking about in terms of defense.
