Oct. 6, 2020 marks the 10th anniversary of Roy Halladay’s postseason no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds.
“Doc” had nine days to prepare for his first career postseason start and the result was near perfection. Halladay didn’t throw a first-pitch ball until the third inning. Even that pitch was right down the middle.
Of the 28 batters Halladay faced, he fell behind only six times. Halladay stuck with his sinker and cutter early in the counts through the first four innings and then began relying more heavily on the curveball as the game moved along.
