Michael Lorenzen will live in Philadelphia Phillies lore forever.

The 31-year-old tossed a no-hitter Wednesday night against the Washington Nationals in just his second appearance with the club.

Lorenzen was traded from the Detroit Tigers to the Phillies Aug. 1, the day of the MLB trade deadline. 

Seems to be working out for the Phils.

Philadelphia gave Lorenzen run support early on with a three-run first inning, but he hardly needed it.

Lorenzen walked both Joey Meneses and Keibert Ruiz twice in the game, but his stuff was working against everybody else all night.

In the top of the ninth, he got Lane Thomas to ground out to third, struck out Meneses looking and induced a Dominic Smith flyout to complete the no-hitter.

He threw a career-high 124 pitches, the most by any pitcher this season. His previous career-high was 108, and manager Rob Thomson sent him out for the ninth after 111.
