Who was the Boston Red Sox pitcher who didn't allow a runner to reach base in nine innings, but wasn't credited with a perfect game?

I'm trying to figure out how that could happen, and I sure don't know who it was. That's the definition of a perfect game. 27 batters in order.

I guess an error does not spoil a perfect game. You'd have to pick him in a double play.

Oh yes, an error or any runner reaching base for any reason spoils the perfect game.

I can't remember "who" but it was a pitcher who took a perfect game into extra innings.

Ernie Shore, I think his name was. Babe Ruth started the game and got tossed after the first batter and Shore picked the man off first and got the next 26 also, but didn't get a perfect game because he didn't pitch a complete game.

The pitcher was Harvey Haddix of Pittsburg Pirates, who pitched 12 perfect innings, and he ended up as the losing pitcher, losing the game 1-0 in 13 innings, and the Pirates had 12 hits that day but couldn't score a run for Haddix. And he too was not credited with pitching a perfect game.

Once a batter safely reached first base it was no longer a perfect game.
