Citizens Bank Park is widely considered to be a hitters' ballpark, which makes what Josh Beckett achieved this afternoon even more remarkable. For the first time in his MLB career, Beckett recorded his first ever no-hitter with six strikeouts and three walks in 128 pitches against a potent Philadelphia Phillies lineup featuring the likes of Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins. Take a look at the final out of the game below.
Beckett's no-no is the first one in Los Angeles Dodgers history since Hideo Nomo accomplished the feat in 1996 against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.
