In his second start since being traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Philadelphia Phillies at the deadline, starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen pitched a no-hitter, earning a 7-0 victory over the visiting Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
It was the 14th no-no in Phillies franchise history.
Kerri definitely should talk to Lorenzen before each start …
