Michael Lorenzen Makes History with No-Hitter Against Nationals

Michael Lorenzen of the Philadelphia Phillies pitched a no-hitter against the Washington Nationals, marking the first time in 18 seasons that the Nationals have been held hitless. Lorenzen, who was acquired by the Phillies at the trade deadline, threw a gem of a game, relying on a mix of pitches to keep the Nationals guessing. The game lasted 2 hours and 9 minutes, and Lorenzen's achievement ended the Nationals' record streak of registering at least one hit in every game.
