This game featured one of the most historic pitching performances in Major League Baseball history. On Father’s Day, Phillies ace Jim Bunning delivered a perfect game — the seventh in MLB history and the first in the National League since 1880 — retiring every Mets batter he faced and allowing no hits, walks, or baserunners en route to a 6–0 Philadelphia victory. Bunning struck out 10 Mets hitters. 

• Bunning also contributed offensively, driving in two runs during the contest. 

• The Phillies scored single runs in both the 1st and 2nd innings, and then broke the game open with a four-run 6th inning. 

• The Mets were unable to reach base at any point, marking a rare and dominant showing by Bunning and the Phillies defense.

• Jim Bunning’s perfect game was only the seventh in MLB history at that time and marked the first National League perfect game in over 80 years

• Bunning became the first pitcher in major league history to throw no-hit / perfect games in both the American and National Leagues.
