My Fellow Phans,
Tonight we have witnessed history as Doc Halladay throws a perfect game against the Marlins. Read the story below:
Coming into a night where runs would be hard to come by; Doc Halladay did his absolute best to make sure the Phillies came out on top. He threw 115 pitches, 72 for strikes, as e breezed through the Marlins’ lineup through all 9 innings. He struck out 11 in his efforts. Halladay’s perfect game was the second perfect game of the season as the Athletics’ Dallas Braden threw a perfect game against the Rays earlier this season.
Doc became the 20th player in Major League history to throw an elusive perfect game. It's the first no-hitter for Philadelphia since Kevin Millwood did it in 2003. The last perfect game by a Phillies pitcher came by Jim Bunning on June 21, 1964.
Note: I will post on this historic night later this evening/tomorrow. Look for that post!
