Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitcher Michael Lorenzen did not give up a hit in Wednesday’s 7-0 win over the Washington Nationals. Here’s what you need to know:
- Lorenzen, 31, has thrown 124 pitches (76 strikes), with five strikeouts and four walks.
- Prior to Wednesday, the Nationals hadn’t been no-hit as a franchise since moving to Washington from Montreal in 2005.
- The closest Washington had come to being no-hit was when Ryan Zimmerman beat out a grounder with two out in the ninth in St. Louis to break up the no-hit bid of the Cardinals’ Michael Wacha.
- The Phillies (63-52) sit second in the National League East, while the Nationals (50-65) are last in the division.
