For the first time since 1999, a pair of Philadelphia pitchers notched consecutive complete games.
Cliff Lee struck out 12 batters in a three-hit shutout against the Nationals on Thursday, a day after Roy Halladay went nine innings as well.
"I want to throw nine innings every time I take the mound. That's that," Lee said. "I hope Roy does it every day before me, too, but that's what I'm going to try to do. Just because he threw a complete game it isn't like, 'Oh, I've got to do that, too.'"
