Reading Fightin Phils are no-hit by Binghamton Rumble Ponies

Jun. 23—The Reading Fightin Phils were no-hit by a pair of pitchers from the Binghamton Rumble Ponies in a 2-0 loss in a Double-A Northeast League game Tuesday at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Binghamton left-hander Josh Walker pitched the first six innings and lefty Andrew Mitchell the final three as Reading (15-28) was no-hit for the first time since June 24, 2019, when three pitchers combined during a 7-0 loss at Trenton.

The two Rumble Ponies faced just one batter over the minimum.

Walker (3-1), a 37th-round pick in 2017, was forced to leave the game after just 79 pitches following an injury he suffered during an at-bat in the top of the seventh. He walked one and struck out four.

Mitchell, a 14th-round pick in 2018, struck out one in registering his first save of the season.

Reading's only other runner came in the second when Rodolfo Duran reached on a throwing error by third baseman Mark Vientos. Luke Miller followed by grounding into a double play.

Binghamton (13-28) scored in the sixth on a solo home run by Will Toffey. Vientos homered in the sixth.
