Editing Pedro Martínez (section)

===Nine perfect innings===
On June 3, 1995, while pitching for Montreal, he retired the first 27 [[1995 San Diego Padres season|Padres]] hitters he faced. However, the score was still tied 0–0 at that point and the game went into [[extra innings]]. The [[1995 Montreal Expos season|Expos]] scored a run in the top of the 10th, but Martínez surrendered a [[Double (baseball)|double]] to the 28th batter he faced, [[Bip Roberts]]. Expos manager [[Felipe Alou]] then removed Martínez from the game, bringing in reliever [[Mel Rojas]], who retired the next three batters.<ref>{{cite web|title=Box Score|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SDN/SDN199506030.shtml|work=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref> Martínez officially recorded neither a perfect game nor a [[no-hitter]]. Until 1991, the rules would have judged it differently; however, a rule clarification specified that perfect games, even beyond nine innings, must remain perfect until the game is completed for them to be considered perfect. This retroactively decertified many no-hit games, including [[Ernie Shore]]'s perfect relief stint in 1917 and [[Harvey Haddix]]'s legendary [[Harvey Haddix's near-perfect game|12 perfect innings]] in 1959 (lost in the 13th).
