Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Michael Lorenzen achieved a no-hitter.
Lorenzen started the 2023 MLB home game against the Washington Nationals held at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on the 10th , recording 9 innings with no hits, 4 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
Lorenzen gave up a walk to Joey Menesis after two outs in the first inning, but ended the inning by turning Dominic Smith into a fly ball. In the top of the second inning, lead hitter Kybert Lewis also allowed a walk, but after that, he struck out three batters.
Lorenzen continued his streak of 6 batters from 2 out in the top of the 4th inning, but was slowed down by Menesis’ walk in the top of the 6th inning with 2 out, but ended the inning by catching the follow-up hitter, Dominic Smith, with a straight hit to right field. Lorenzen’s no-hit, no-run challenge was still valid. In the meantime, the other line scored 4 consecutive innings from the 1st to the 4th inning, and added 1 point at the end of the 7th inning to solidify the victory.
Lorenzen also worked hard to help the other line score. Even in the second half of the game, Washington batters were helpless by his pitch, and home fans’ expectations for a ‘great record’ grew as the 7th and 8th innings ended with a tripartite offense.
Lorenzen set up the first batter, Lane Thomas, with a ground ball to third baseman, followed by a strikeout from Menesis, one step closer to a no-hit no-run, and finished with Smith’s floating ball to center fielder, the last batter. At the end of the match, Lorenzen cheered with his arms raised and hugged JT Real Muto, who was breathing together.
Lorenzen, who made his big league debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2015, went through the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers and wore a Philadelphia uniform in a trade during this season. On the 4th, his first appearance after transfer, against the Miami Marlins, he had a good pitching with 6 hits (1 home run), 1 walk, 5 strikeouts and 2 runs in 8 innings, followed by a long inning in his second appearance, and even made his first no-hit no-run in his debut. .
Lorenzen said after the game, “I’ve been working really hard to achieve this dream, and I can’t believe I set records in front of home fans.” He gave me the strength to throw up to the sashimi,” he said, expressing his feelings about achieving a no-hit no-run.
