Amid trade speculation, Phillies starter Cole Hamels threw his first career no-hitter Saturday afternoon in a 5-0 win over the Cubs from Wrigley Field.
Throwing one hundred and twenty-nine total pitchers, Hamels ended up striking out thirteen and walking just two in the win. The Phillies starter also managed a hit himself which meant not only did he no-hit the Cubs, he also out hit them as well.
Here’s Phillies OF Odubel Herrera making things interesting at the end with this lunging catch on the warning track for the final out.

This latest no-hitter was the third this year for Major League Baseball and the fourteenth in Phillies history. It was also the first no-no thrown against the Cubs since 1965.
What a way to go out though in perhaps your final start for the team that may be dealing you this upcoming week.
