Read More: Roy Halladay (P - PHI), Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds
In the words of my editor: "That was as easy as it gets." Roy Halladay's no-hitter is very much alive and well, and we're now through eight innings of work. The top of the eighth was so simple that you might've missed it if you got up for a glass of water. There were seven pitches. All of them strikes. Two of them for strikeouts. I mean, for real?
-J. Gomes strkeout
-J. Bruce ground out
-D. Stubbs strikeout
That's eight innings and 94 pitches, 71 of them for strikes. For those of you wondering, yes, Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series is the only no-hitter thrown in playoff history. Roy Halladay is now three outs away from doubling the group's number of members.
