5-0 win over Tampa. First perfect game since 2004. Haven't seen the highlights yet, but apparently Dwayne Wise stole a home run away with a catch over the fence in the 9th to save it.

A perfect game is defined by Major League Baseball as a game in which a pitcher (or combination of pitchers) pitches a victory that lasts a minimum of nine innings and in which no opposing player reaches base.[1] Thus, the pitcher (or pitchers) cannot allow any hits, walks, hit batsmen, or any opposing player to reach base safely for any other reason—in short, "27 up, 27 down".
By definition, a perfect game must be both a no-hitter and a shutout. Since the pitcher cannot control whether or not his teammates commit any errors, the pitcher usually must be backed up by solid fielding to pitch a perfect game. An error that does not allow a baserunner, such as a misplayed foul ball, does not spoil a perfect game.
There you have it. Basically, no batter from the other team can ever safely reach base.

He actually walked a batter but picked him off at first base.
Really? Doesn't sound like a perfect game to me then.
Edit... I believe you are referring to this...?
Buehrle pitched his second no-hitter. In a 6-0 win over Texas on April 18, 2007, he also faced the minimum 27 batters. He walked Sammy Sosa on a 3-1 pitch with one out in the fifth inning, then picked him off two pitches later.
