History was made in Cleveland as Dan Haren(2-5) thrilled the crowd by tossing
a perfect game and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Indians by
the score of 5 to nothing.

Haren was obviously at the top of his game as he set the Cleveland batters
down like so many dominoes.  The tension built to a fever pitch.  After the
8th inning everybody in the ballpark was anticipating what would happen in
the 9th.  Kansas City had a total of 8 hits for the game.  

Ricky Nolasco(2-3) was hit with the loss.  What a show!' Brooks Crandall said.
'Haren was great out there -- I'm happy that he got it.'
