PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Top that.
Long before Roy Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels talked about Philadelphia’s three aces always trying to outdo each other.
Halladay set the bar high with a brilliant performance in the Phillies’ 4-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of the NL division series on Wednesday.
Next up is Oswalt. He starts Game 2 on Friday.
The only way for Oswalt to top Halladay would be to pitch a perfect game. Don Larsen has the only one in the postseason, throwing it for the New York Yankees against Brooklyn in the 1956 World Series.
