Left-hander Tyler Gilbert, formerly a Phillies prospect, has made MLB history.
The Philadelphia Phillies came close to a combined no-hitter in their eventual 6-1 win against the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.
Unfortunately, Archie Bradley blew the no-no in the eight. However, one of their former prospects — traded in February 2020 for outfielder Kyle Garlick — actually got the job done against the potent San Diego Padres lineup.
Pitching for the woeful, 80-loss-club Arizona Diamondbacks, left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert was making his first career start (fourth appearance overall) when he went the distance without allowing a hit.
