Cole Hamels Pitched A No-Hitter In What Might Be His Last Game As A Philadelphia Phillie

If Saturday was Cole Hamels’s last game as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies, he went out with a bang.

Inside the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, Hamels pitched a no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs. It was the 13th no-hitter in the franchise’s history, the 8th one at Wrigley Field, and the first there since Milt Pappas in 1972. It’s also the first time The Cubs haven’t connected since 1965, when Sandy Koufax pitched a no-hitter against the team.

The no-hitter seemed to be in doubt at the last out of the game, when Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant drove a ball deep, but Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera made a diving catch to end the game.

Hamels had been a part of a combined no-hitter last year, but this is his first solo outing.

Others lamented the possibility of the no-hitter being Hamels’ last game as a Philly.
