It was only his second start with his new team, and his first at home.
PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Lorenzen threw the 14th no-hitter in Philadelphia Phillies history, a dazzling performance in only his second start with his new team, which beat the Washington Nationals 7-0 on Wednesday night.
"I didn't strike out the world in this game. When you are pitching, balls can land in different places. I just had God's grace today," Lorenzen said. His teammates lingered near the dugout and continued the line of hugs and high-fives -- a scene not unlike the ones last October at Citizens Bank Park. Lorenzen pushed his pitch count to the point where it was questionable if manager Rob Thomson would let him finish the game. But he kept the ball and became the first Phillies pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Cole Hamels on July 25, 2015 against the Cubs. Hamels retired last week.
The no-hitter was the fourth in the majors this season. Houston's Framber Valdez threw one against Cleveland on Aug. 1. New York Yankees right-hander Domingo Germán pitched a perfect game at Oakland on June 28, and Matt Manning, Alex Lange and Jason Foley of Detroit threw a combined no-no against Toronto on July 8.
