Greensboro Grasshoppers’ Curtis, 2 relievers combine for a perfect game against Aberdeen
ABERDEEN, Md. (AP) — Khristian Curtis and relievers Jake Shirk and Michael Walsh combined for the first perfect game in an affiliated minor league since 2017, leading the Greensboro Grasshoppers to a 2-0 victory over the Aberdeen IronBirds on Friday night.
The Grasshoppers are a Pittsburgh Pirates farm team in the High-A South Atlantic League. The Ironbirds are a Baltimore affiliate.
Curtis struck out 10 in six innings, Shirk fanned four more in two innings and Walsh added two in the ninth — the last against Cole Urman for the final out.
Titus Dumitru homered in the fifth to open the scoring.
