season. Teams were scoring an average of 4.94 runs per nine innings, the lowest since the 1992 season, and only one batter, Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays, had registered 30 or more home runs for the season. Following Halladay and Braden's perfect games, Galarraga's near-perfect game, and Stephen Strasburg's 14-strikeout major league debut, Roy S. Johnson of ESPN was one of the first to name 2010 the "Year of the Pitcher". Sports Illustrated echoed the term, and attributed the strong pitching performance of the season to a ban on performance-enhancing drugs for batters, greater attention to the development of young pitchers, as well as an influx of pitching talent across the league. By the end of the year, the MLB league-wide batting average was the lowest that it had been since 1992, and pitchers had thrown five official no-hitters or perfect games—six, with the inclusion of Galarraga. Halladay and Johnson would pitch against each other several more times in their major league career. In a "perfect game rematch" on June 10, 2010, Halladay struck out eight batters, walked one, and allowed one run and six hits in eight innings, while Johnson struck out five, walked one, and gave up three hits. The Marlins ended their four-game losing streak in a 2–0 victory over the Phillies. On May 10, 2011, Halladay pitched a complete game loss when Omar Infante reached home on an error in the eighth inning. Johnson, who pitched only seven innings and left the game tied, was credited with a no decision. On April 11, 2012, Johnson, who had not won a game in nearly a year, allowed five runs in the third inning to clear the way for a 7–1 Phillies victory. Halladay, meanwhile, held the Marlins to one run across seven innings. Johnson, the Marlins' ace, maintained a respect for Halladay throughout their careers, referring to himself once as "like a little brother" to Halladay. Shortly after midnight on November 7, 2017, Halladay died when the ICON A5 plane that he had been flying crashed into the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Florida. He was 40 years old. The Blue Jays officially retired Halladay's No. 32 jersey number on March 29, 2018, the first day of the 2018 season. The Phillies originally planned to retire Halladay's No. 34 jersey on May 29, 2020, the 10th anniversary of his perfect game, but the COVID-19
