Phillies Vs. Reds, NLDS Game 1: Roy Halladay Has Everyone On No-Hitter Alert

After consecutive strikeouts, the Reds were able to pick up their first baserunner of the game when Jay Bruce worked a six-pitch walk. Drew Stubbs then stranded him with a grounder to short, and through five innings of work, Roy Halladay hasn't allowed a hit on 61 pitches. While sounding the alarm after five innings might seem a little hasty, Halladay's been that good. He has the right feel, if that means anything.

You'll recall, of course, that Halladay threw a perfect game against the Marlins on May 29th, and spun a two-hitter against the Nationals on September 27th in his most recent start. The Phillies got him for a reason, and he's showing what that reason is with every single pitch.
