PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Lorenzen has not allowed a hit through seven innings Wednesday for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Washington Nationals.

The right-hander has struck out four and walked four. He has thrown 100 pitches, 60 for strikes.

The Phillies lead 6-0. Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Weston Wilson homered in his first major league plate appearance.

The 31-year-old Lorenzen was an All-Star this season for Detroit before the Phillies acquired him at the trade deadline for a minor leaguer. He promptly threw a season-high eight innings of two-run ball in his Phillies debut last week.

Lorenzen spent much of his career as a reliever for the Reds, but he’s been exclusively a starter for the Tigers and Los Angeles Angels the past couple seasons.

Houston's Framber Valdez threw a no-hitter against Cleveland on Aug. 1. It was the third no-hitter in the majors this season. New York Yankees right-hander Domingo Germán pitched a perfect game at Oakland on June 28, and Matt Manning, Alex Lange and Jason Foley of Detroit threw a combined no-no against Toronto on July 8.
