His shutout, let alone his no-hitter, was historic. He’s the 1st pitcher to toss a shutout in his postseason debut since Bobby Jones’ 1-hitter for the Mets in Game 4 of the 2000 NLDS.

Halladay retired Brandon Phillips on a tapper in front of the plate to end it. Catcher Carlos Ruiz pounced on the ball, getting down on his knee as the ball rolled near Phillips’ bat, and made a strong throw for the final out.

“This is what you come here for,” Halladay said. “It’s a good team, they know how to win. … It’s been a great year, a fun year, we obviously have a ways to go.”
