What's the longest two oposing pitchers have gone in a game with perfect games?

Answer 1

Wish I knew for certain but I believe the answer is six or seven innings. The response above is not accurate because you are asking about perfect games and not no hitters. A perfect game involves (27) batters up and all (27) retired without anyone reaching base. In the response above I believe there were BB's and errors and therefore not a perfect game. Great question and someone will come up with the answer.

Answer 2

Here is some baseball history that might help:

In 1917, Fred Toney of the Cincinnati Reds and Hippo Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs squared off in a pitcher's duel that was a hitless, scoreless tie after 9 innings — the only time in baseball history that neither team has had a hit in regulation (the closest any game has come since was in 1965, when Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game and opposing pitcher Bob Hendley of the Cubs gave up only one hit to the Dodgers - interestingly, the winning run in the 1-0 game scored in the fifth inning, and the game's only hit came in the seventh). The Reds got two hits in the top of the tenth and scored the winning run. In the bottom of the tenth, Toney retired the side and recorded a 10-inning no-hitter. In 1959, Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched twelve perfect innings before losing the no-hitter and the game to the Milwaukee Braves in the 13th. Pedro Martínez was the last pitcher to lose a no-hitter in the 10th inning (via a Bip Roberts double) against the Padres in 1995. Like Haddix, he too had a perfect game after nine innings.

Answer 3

Back in 2001 the Yankees faced the Red Sox at Fenway Park. It was a matchup between Mike Mussina and David Cone. Mike Mussina had a perfect game up until the last strike before Carl Everett broke it up. David Cone had a no-hitter or perfect game going on but I forget how long. The Yankees won that game 1-0.

Answer 4

I don't remember the teams or the pitchers but a while back late 40's early 50's two pitchers had perfect games going in to the 16th inning. In the bottom of the 16th inning the pitcher gave up a game winning HR.
