Phillies 7, Braves 0: Cole Hamels, Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon teamed up for the 11th combined no-hitter in baseball history as visiting Philadelphia captured the series opener.
Hamels (8-6) struck out seven but walked five and hit a batter in six innings, leaving after throwing 108 pitches. Diekman pitched a perfect seventh, Giles struck out the side in the eighth and Papelbon finished the fourth no-hitter in baseball this season and the 12th in Phillies history by getting Phil Gosselin to line out softly to first base.
Ben Revere drove in a career-high five runs for Philadelphia and Jimmy Rollins finished 3-for-5. Julio Teheran (13-10) gave up five runs (two earned) in 6 2/3 innings and Jason Heyward stole a career-high three bases for the Braves, who sit 1½ games out of the final National League wild-card spot and 6½ behind Washington in the NL East.
Hamels walked a pair in the first and third innings, but the Braves stranded runners at second and third in both frames. Revere drove home Cody Asche with a sacrifice fly in the third, and Hamels doubled and later scored on Rollins’ sixth-inning triple to make it 2-0.
Andrelton Simmons’ error in the seventh helped load the bases before Revere’s bases-clearing triple pushed the Philadelphia advantage to 5-0. The Philadelphia bullpen took over from there, and after the Phillies added two runs in the ninth, Papelbon retired pinch-hitter Jose Constanza, Chris Johnson and Gosselin.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Seattle fired the last combined no-hitter, using six pitchers to shut down the Dodgers on June 8, 2012. … Roy Halladay threw the last Phillies’ no-hitter, in Game 1 of the 2010 NL Division Series against Cincinnati. … The Braves had not been no-hit since Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez did it April 17, 2010 in Atlanta.
