Phillies' Michael Lorenzen throws no-hitter vs. Nationals

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.

Lorenzen, 31, struck out five, walked four and improved to 2-0 since he was acquired from Detroit at the trade deadline for a minor leaguer. His 124 pitches -- a career high -- are the most by any pitcher in a game this season, and the most in a solo no-hitter since Mike Fiers' 131 in 2019.
