The Philadelphia ace became the first pitcher to throw a no-hitter against the Chicago Cubs in 50 years, watching as rookie centre fielder Odubel Herrera stumbled on the warning track before catching a flyball to end the Phillies' 5-0 win Saturday.
"It's something where you just go out there and enjoy the moment," Hamels said. "What I want is to be successful at it. I enjoyed the moment and this happened."
Hamels (6-7) struck out 13, tossing his first career no-hitter in what could be his final start for the Phillies. The 2008 World Series MVP has been mentioned prominently in trade talks as the July 31 deadline approaches.
It was the first no-hitter versus the Cubs since Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game in 1965.click here!
