Michael Lorenzen of the Philadelphia Phillies achieved the feat of achieving a no-hit, no-run in his home debut.
Lorenzen started the 2023 Major League Baseball Nationals game at Citizen’s Bank Park in Philadelphia, USA.
Lorenzen allowed four walks, throwing 124 pitches in nine innings, but had no hits while striking out five. He played one game alone without conceding a goal. Philadelphia won 7-0. It was the 14th no-hitter in Philadelphia history.
Lorenzen transferred to Philadelphia from the Detroit Tigers on the 2nd, just before the trade deadline. His first game on the mound in a Philadelphia uniform was an away game against the Miami Marlins on the 4th. He proved the trade was right by throwing 2 runs in 8 innings.
The game against Washington was their home debut. When he blocked a scoreless run without a hit until the 7th inning, the number of pitches was already 101. Lorenzen got on the mound in the 8th and 9th innings despite reaching the pitch limit.
‘When Lorenzen took the mound in the ninth inning, he had already exceeded his career-high 111 pitches. Philadelphia fans stood up and cheered. They defeated the Boss in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on October 6, 2010.
“Because I haven’t seen a record like that at home since Roy Halladay had a no-hitter against the Torn Red Sox.”
Lorenzen threw the first batter, Blake Rutherford, into right field. He approached the record by catching the next hitter, Alex Cole, with a floating ball in center field. The last batsman, CJ Abrams, played tenaciously, going all the way to the 5th pitch, but eventually caught it with a floating ball in right field.
“I worked really hard to make this dream come true,” said Lorenzen. I can’t believe I did it in front of these fans,” he thanked the home crowd.
