James McCann breaks up a perfect game in the ninth.

Jameson Taillon retired 26 straight Kraken batters, until James McCann stepped to the plate with two outs in the ninth and squirted a single between first and second. Taillon said a few choice words into his glove and then calmly induced a ground ball to Manny Machado to end the game. So close...
