On this day six years ago, the Dodgers’ Josh Beckett tossed the first opposing no-hitter against the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park history.
From 1980 to on this day six years ago, May 25, 2014, the Philadelphia Phillies had two more World Series championships (2) than number of times they were no-hit (0).
That all changed in a Sunday matinee home game opposite the Los Angeles Dodgers, when opposing starting pitcher Josh Beckett went the distance without allowing a hit on 128 pitches.
