On May 1, 1906, while with the Phillies, the 20-year-old Lush no-hit the Brooklyn Superbas 6-0 at Brooklyn's Washington Park, besting Mal Eason—himself a no-hit pitcher on July 20 of that season. As of the 2025 MLB season, Lush is the youngest pitcher to throw a no-hitter (he was 20 years and 205 days old at the time). Lush struck out 11, walked three, and one runner reached first base on a Mickey Doolinerror.[2] Not until Jim Bunning's perfect game in 1964 would there be another no-hitter by a Phillies pitcher.
Lush was a good hitting pitcher in his seven-year major league career. He posted a .254 batting average (252-for-993) with 107 runs, 40 doubles, 11 triples, 2 home runs, 94 runs batted in, 28 stolen basess and drawing 69 bases on balls. He was also used at first base and in the outfield.
