I don't actually have the answer to this one.
Bosio, after walking the first two batters, retired 27-straight for a
"back-end" perfect game.
How many other games - including extra inning games - have seen a pitcher
retire 27 straight, excluding official perfect games?
The only other instance of this I know about for sure is the famous Ernie
Shore game, which counts as a perfect one according to those goons in
Cooperstown. Shore came into the game when Boston Pitcher Babe Ruth got
thrown out for arguing over the first-batter walk; Shore picked him off and
retired 26 straight after that.
