The Philadelphia Phillies are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They play in the National League East division. Also known in their early years as the "Philadelphia Quakers", pitchers for the Phillies have thrown eleven separate no-hitters in franchise history. Of the eleven no-hitters pitched by Phillies players, three have been won by a score of 6–0, and three have been 1–0. The largest margin of victory in a Phillies no-hitter was ten runs, in a 10–0 win by Chick Fraser. Three Phillies players have won their no-hitters by a one-run margin; Charlie Ferguson's no-hitter, the first in franchise history, was a 1–0 victory, one thrown by Kevin Millwood in 2003, and the one thrown by Roy Halladay against the Florida Marlins in 2010. Two pitchers to throw no-hitters for the Phillies have been left-handed: Johnny Lush (in 1906) and Terry Mulholland (in 1990). The other eight pitchers were right-handed. One pitcher has thrown more than one no-hitter in a Phillies uniform, that being Halladay. Some, including Hall of Famer Jim Bunning, have pitched more than one in their careers, but not more than one for the Phillies. The longest interval between Phillies no-hitters was between the games pitched by Lush and Bunning, encompassing 58 years, 1 month, and 20 days. Conversely, the shortest interval between no-hitters was between both of Halladays (131 Days). A different umpire presided over each of the Phillies' eleven no-hitters, including Wes Curry, who created Major League Baseball's catcher interference rule. Two perfect games, a special subcategory of no-hitter, has been pitched in Phillies history. The first was achieved by Bunning in 1964 and was the first perfect game in the National League since 1880. The second was by Halladay against the Florida Marlins. Halladay also pitched the second postseason no hitter in MLB history against the Reds in the National League Divisional Series NLDS. As defined by Major League Baseball, "[in] a perfect game, no batter reaches any base during the course of the game."
