Phillies' Hamels Pitches 1st No-Hitter vs Cubs in 50 Years

CHICAGO — Cole Hamels is facing a quick trip from the record book to the trading block.

The Philadelphia ace became the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs in 50 years, watching as rookie center fielder Odubel Herrera stumbled on the warning track before catching a flyball to end the Phillies' 5-0 win Saturday.

"It's something where you just go out there and enjoy the moment," Hamels said. "What I want is to be successful at it. I enjoyed the moment and this happened."

Hamels (6-7) struck out 13, tossing his first career no-hitter in what could be his final start for the Phillies.
