Brandon Morrow threw 9 pitches and got the L tonight
Did MLB change the rule on this?
In the bottom of the 1st, Toronto scored a run to offset the run Morrow gave up, so Beck should have got the loss correct? I know 2 years ago this is how it was done but I think they did something to the rule last year.

I'm pretty sure that's not possible. A perfect game means the pitcher allowed 0 batters to reach first base.. this means no walks, errors, or hits. I don't see how a pitcher can possibly get a loss while allowing no one to get on base.

Washington scored two runs in the first inning. Since Morrow was charged with the go-ahead run, and Toronto never tied or took the lead to get him off the hook, he got the loss.

In the past, 2 years ago, was the rule not different?
I understand how it is now, I could swear it was not like that 2 years ago. In this game, Toronto scored 3, therefore passing the run that Morrow gave up and taking him off the hook. Maybe I am going crazy, I just thought I remembered games being scored differently.

No, that's the way it has always been. The pitcher who gives up the go-ahead run always takes the loss unless his team ties or goes ahead themselves.
Pitcher A gives up one run. Pitcher B relieves him and gives up 10 runs. Their team rallies for 10 runs of their own and lose 11-10. Pitcher A takes the loss.

I guess I am just going crazy then. Thanks for the responses!
Pretty shitty IMO. Same for Morrow last night.

You are thinking of the Harvey Haddix that I linked earlier, technically it wasn't a perfect game, but he does have the MLB record for the most consecutive batter retired. A record that will never be broken.

Yeah, the guy I saw that did it went into extra innings. The rule used to be if you threw 9 perfect innings it was a perfect game. Some guy for Pittsburg went 12 perfect innings and then lost in the 13th 3 to 0. Now it is impossible.
