Halladay Makes History Against Reds

Author: Michael Licata

It’s only been done once before yesterday. Don Larsen pitched a perfect game for the New York Yankees during the 1956 World Series. Roy Halladay pitched a no-hitter in his first postseason start against the Cincinnati Reds, defeating the Reds 4-0 on Wednesday evening. It’s exactly what the Phillies expected when they traded for the former Cy Young winner last offseason.

He’s been looking forward to his first postseason opportunity. Did he ever expect this type of result? He pitched a perfect game against the Florida Marlins earlier this season. His only blemish was walking Jay Bruce on a full count in the fifth inning. He even singled in a run and scored on a later hit during the game. He can do it all. Ok, that’s an exaggeration but he’s still the best pitcher in baseball. He proved it in his first postseason start.

The Reds will have to rebound quickly against the more experienced Phillies. It’s not going to get any easier. Roy Oswalt starts in game two against Bronson Arroyo. The Reds had success against Oswalt, but that was when he was with Houston earlier this season. He has renewed vigor to win his first championship. It also helps not having to be the ace of his staff. That belongs to Halladay. The Phillies are in control of the series. It’s going to be a quick series, with the Phillies sweeping the Reds. For a few days, Halladay is the king of baseball. He also cemented his lore as the best pitcher of his generation.
