Galarraga loses perfection, wins game: Armando Galarraga carried a perfect game into the seventh inning as the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 7-1 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep. Galarraga retired the first 18 batters before David DeJesus led off the seventh with a single to right on a full-count pitch. To that point, the 26-year-old rookie right-hander had allowed just two fly balls to the outfield and struck out six. He wound up allowing a run in the seventh on three singles and a walk, but left the bases loaded. Galarraga (8-4) was replaced by Casey Fossum in the eighth, after lowering his ERA to 3.27 while striking out a career-high seven against just one walk. (Updated 07/23/2008).
