A pitcher comes into a baseball game in the first inning, he strikes out 27 straight batters all the way through 9 innings, not a single hit, run, walk, error, interference, or hit-by-pitch was recorded. There were no recording errors. His ERA (earned run average) and WHIP (walks/hits per inning pitched) were both 0.00, his team DID NOT forfeit, yet his team lost the game, why?

The pitcher comes in, pitches a perfect game, but the other team doesn't allow any runs either. In the 10th inning, they put a relief pitcher in, but the other team scores a run and wins.
