Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Michael Lorenzen threw a no-hitter against the Washington Nationals in only his second start for the team.
Lorenzen’s mother, Cheryl, and wife, Cassi, wept in the stands during the final out, with Cassi holding their baby daughter, June.
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.The Phillies acquired the right-hander to stabilize their rotation as the defending National League champions battled the San Francisco Giants for the top wild-card spot.
“Honestly I was upset at myself for the first couple of innings, they were long innings, walking guys. And I knew I was just ruining my chances to go deep in this game,” Lorenzen said. “Thankfully pulled me aside and asked how I was feeling. I said ‘I feel good, it’s nice and cool outside’ ... just trying to buy some more innings and he gave them to me. So hats off to him.
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.Phillies left fielder Weston Wilson homered in his first major league plate appearance and after nearly 2,900 at-bats in the minor leagues.
