The Philadelphia Phillies acquired Michael Lorenzen at the trading deadline in hopes of bolstering their starting rotation as they made a playoff push.
In just his second start with the team, he more than delivered, tossing a no-hitter in a 7-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
Lorenzen’s outing was the fourth no-hitter of the season and came just eight days after the previous one, in which Framber Valdez allowed only one baserunner and faced the minimum number of hitter against the Cleveland Guardians.
Lorenzen had a more treacherous path to history.
