Top 10 Phillies Moments of the 00's Moment 9

9. Kevin Millwood Pitches No Hitter April 27 2003

On April 27 2003 Kevin Millwood pitched the Phillies first no hitter since Terry Mullholland at the Vet. It was the Phantic's last birthday at The Vet and Kevin Millwood upstaged it. The only run of the game came in the first when Ricky Ledee hit a solo HR. Millwood then issued a walk to Ray Durham and got him out when he tried to steal second. Then Rich Aurilla walked in the 4th and he was stranded when Barry Bonds flew out. Then in the 9th he walked Ray Durham and he was stranded when Marquis Grissom flew out to end the game and preserve the no hitter. Kevin Millwood was traded from the Braves for Johnny Estrada in the offseason. Kevin did not pitch well the rest of the season and proved to be a bust but for that one day Millwood came up golden.
