In a defining moment that will last in Philadelphia Phillies' history, Michael Lorenzen etched his name among the franchise's elite by pitching Philadelphia's 14th no-hitter on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old pitcher's masterful performance marked not only his career first but also the fourth no-hitter of the season, underscoring his exceptional prowess in 2023.

Amid the jubilant cheers of the crowd, Lorenzen's family stood witness to his extraordinary feat. Emotions ran high as his mother, Cheryl, and wife Cassi, holding their baby daughter, June, were captured wiping away tears in the stands.

Cassi Lorenzen posted a reaction video of his proud moment on Instagram:

''NO HITTER BABY! Wow, God. Wow, husband. Wow, Philly. Thank you Lord for a memory that we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives i could not be more proud of you'':Wrote cassi on Instagram

Having already earned an All-Star selection, Lorenzen's star has been steadily rising throughout the season. Wednesday night's achievement further solidified his position as a dominant force on the mound, as he lowered his ERA to an impressive 3.24.

In a swift and mesmerizing display, Lorenzen retired Lane Thomas of the Washington Nationals in the ninth inning, wrapping up his first career complete game in just 2 hours and 9 minutes. The final out, a flyball from Dominic Smith, marked the pinnacle of his historic performance.
